 * Hello
 * One of my WordPress installations [Tonedango](http://tonedango.com) is maxing
   out my shared server’s processes and sending out error 500 messages 1/3 of the
   time.
 * The process that are always going are:
    /usr/bin/php /home/xxxxx/public_html/
   index.php /usr/bin/php /home/xxxxx/public_html/index.php /usr/bin/php /home/xxxxx/
   public_html/index.php
 * I have seen several unresolved threads about this has anyone found a culprit 
   for this conditional problem?

 * How many Multisite blogs have you got and what’s your traffic?
 * The tl;dr of all things is you probably need a bigger server that you can manage
   and optimize.

 * This installation is operating 7 different websites.
    I have just reconfigured
   this website and have only begun to experienced this problem today. I don’t think
   I need a larger server yet, my traffic is next to nothing. 14 visitors today 
   177 pages served.
 * I have already tried deactivating the plugins and reverting back the .htaccess(
   I did a bunch of 301’s for a subdomain that I moved to a new website) but that
   seemed to change nothing. I have other websites on this same server that are 
   not running nearly as many processes but which carry more traffic. I have added
   Super Cache after this problem started and it did not lower the average processes.
 * My guess is there is a more functional state of being for this wordpress installation.
   Do you have any advice half-elf?

 * So… In order to display some of the post content from each blog on the front 
   page of the blog network, I used the RSS widget to gather feeds from the other
   blogs in the network. I guess this lead to the index file getting pulled 7 times
   for each load of the home page.
 * I am going to try this plugin: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/)
   
   to see if I can get it sorted out.

 * Oh wow, okay, that’s why you’re slaughtering your site 🙂 Don’t do that! What
   that does is loop through WP over and over and over to get the info.
