I've been going around in circles with support on an issue of high CPU usages on a basic shared plan. They claimed it was because I needed to upgrade WordPress. So I did. And the CPU usage actually increased now.

I have searched the forums for solutions and it seems some are claiming this to be a possible hacking issue.  Can anyone be more specific on this issue?

Does anyone know of any common issues and/or solutions for this?

Yes, I would agree with lexhair on this one - let us know which plugins you are currently using.

Thanks for the response, guys. 

I'll compile a list of them tonight.  We have been dealt another big blast of winter and have had to move snow all day.

Doesn't look too bad, if your still having issues it might be time to disable all of them - see if that brings the load down, and then try to re-enable each, to see what effect they have.  Might check the support for each, to see if anybody else has had resource usage issues with any of them too.

Mitch,

LP support is suppose to be providing me with a CPU usage log for the past couple of weeks so I and my IT manager can analyze the usage and compare to other logs to try and identify any other causes before going through the process you recommended.  Without CPU usage logs, doing as you suggested still won't help me to analyze whether any of the plugins were causing it.

Maybe you can get someone to provide me a copy so I can work on this.

Thanks!
