 * Hi,
 * It could be due, as you said, to an overload problem.
    Each time you move a file,
   the plugins search into all databases columns the existence of the file to replace
   it by the new url. It means a lot of database queries, and the more content you
   have the more queries it will do.
 * I would recommend to contact your hosting provider to see if you can increase
   the resources available.
    Unfortunately there is nothing in the plugin we can
   do to decrease the charge.
 * I don’t really see why the 7.1 php version would affect the performance in a 
   bad way, it is usually the opposite.
    Is it the only thing you have done? Have
   you added plugins at the same time? Or maybe your hosting provider doesn’t have
   the same php configuration for the 7.1 version.
 * Best regards

 * thanks for reply
 * I asked them before but unfortunately they can’t increase it. I think we have
   to migrate to virtual server or something.
    I don’t think bad configuration make
   it, because my site and my plugins work perfect.
 * I just update php and wp and disable some plugins.
 * is there any way to don’t let plugin search database? (for example a checkbox
   in options)
    I always change files location before adding to posts.

 * Yes, you can select the tables to make the replacement into.
    In the plugin settings
   page, you can uncheck “Detect media tables to replace content” and uncheck the
   columns you don’t want to replace content into. The plugin will then only change
   the related media meta and look only the columns you have selected.

 * The most important should already be checked by default, if not I would say wp_posts.
   content wp_posts.post_excerpt
    But you could have url in other columns depending
   on the plugin you use, in this case you should check in your database each table
   if the content may have url inside.
