Title: CPU spikes and wp-admin/plugin-install.php? Last modified: May 16, 2019 --- # CPU spikes and wp-admin/plugin-install.php? * [rmtux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rmtux/) * (@rmtux) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpu-spikes-and-wp-admin-plugin-install-php/) * I am seeing CPU usage spikes and these processes are showing in the snapshot. The thing is, I didn’t install nor search for any of the plugins mentioned in the log. * And they all follow this pattern: /wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=plugin-information& plugin=[some plugin name I didn’t install]&TB_iframe=true&width=600&height=550 * Scans show website clean & I had a security plugin + cloud firewall installed on a previous install and got the same issue. * Is that normal? * Many thanks, Rami * ``` ------------------------------------------------------ Process List PID CMD CPU MEM 15198 lsphp 0% 7 ... 15352 lsphp:.../public_html/wp-admin/plugin-install.php 8% 38 15354 lsphp:.../public_html/wp-admin/plugin-install.php 35% 33 ...

So deactivating and testing would hopefully narrow down the cause of the issue. * I hope this helps, Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) The topic ‘CPU spikes and wp-admin/plugin-install.php?’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [cpu](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/cpu/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 1 reply * 2 participants * Last reply from: [lianpb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lianpb/) * Last activity: [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpu-spikes-and-wp-admin-plugin-install-php/#post-11542978) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
