My host just disabled my site do to cpu overloading they said my index.php file was using 100% of the cpu. This is what they sent me:


[Wed May 05 11:24:50 2010] [info] Executing
"/home/evonygam/public_html/index.php" as UID 528, GID 528


This is my home page. The site does get about 850 visitors a day but I am nowhere near my usage limit. Any ideas? The only thing I have been able to find so far is that installing a cache plugin like wp-cache might help.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
kris

    Which web host do you choose? and how much PV per day?
    You can install a Wp Super Cache to drop the CPU usage.

      This doesn't seem right. At all.

      Did you do anything to modify wordpress? Out of the box it shouldn't be doing this, at all.

      My guess is:

      1. Something is hanging in the database. Possibly corrupt
      2. You have too many HTTP requests. (unlikely)
      3. You are pulling in something from a third party that is hanging.

      But with 850 visitors a day there is no way wordpress could lock up a Pentium 1 machine. Something is definitely haywire here. Have your webhost check their error logs if they will.
