High CPU usage by my site>>help me??
 

Hello
my hoostage (hostgator ) suspend my site many times because Vbulletin
was causing a high load on the server, and due to it affecting all of the other accounts on the system, I was forced to take immediate action for the health of the server.

Unfortunately I do not have any specific recommendations for this script, however, in general, adding some sort of caching mechanism, where the script does not need to generate a new page with every request, helps to lower the over load that a script will cause. Likely the original author or support group of the software that you are using will be able to help you to understand how to add something of this nature.

Are you using any kind of chat system on your site? I have hostgator and they "do not" like when people using forums have chat systems.

Also what kind of set up do you have for say private messages, images and other features that might cause server load to increase due to an increase in page requests.

Go through your settings and search for anything having to do with high server load increase and performance.

Check your site using the Patrick Meenan model. It will show your actual CPU loading, and also break down everything your site loads on a browser, might yield a clue:

On your hosting, do you have the ability to monitor your CPU load, or are you stuck just having to trust their word?

What are the server load averages showing in adminCP?

Max if hes on a shared program I don't think he will be able to see all that info in cPanel. I have hostgator and I will see what options I have.

I do use webpagetest.org , very good site to help monitor your sites...good recommendation!

What major modifications do you have installed?

Native vBulletin does NOT cause high server load, as your host seems to be claiming... On second and more careful reading of your OP.

Max is this what he should be looking for in his hostgator cPanel?

If it is he should have that under statistics on the left side when he logs into his cPanel.

Correct, I had to remove the chat systems I was trying on vbulletin because "they" were causing high server loads and hostgator was slamming me on those every time I installed one.

That is the only bad thing about hostgator, they just don't like chatbars and shoutboxes being used on their customers sites.

Does HostGator lock your php memory limit? I've never used their service.

Correction PSF....they set it at 64MB by default and it is locked unless you are on a VPS plan.

These are the shared PHP settings by default

safe mode = Off (cannot adjust)
memory_limit = 256M (MAXIMUM)
max_execution_time = 30 (MAXIMUM in seconds)
max_input_time = 60 (MAXIMUM in seconds)
post_max_size = 64M (MAXIMUM)
upload_max_filesize = 64M (MAXIMUM)
enable_dl = Off (cannot adjust)
