Title: excessive CPU loads Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # excessive CPU loads * [LuckyLester](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luckylester/) * (@luckylester) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excessive-cpu-loads/) * I am running a WP site on a semi dedicated server and I have 20% CPU allocated to my site. I don’t get too much traffic but it is raising and I am using more than my allotted CPU usage. * My question is this; is it normal for a WP site to use so much CPU resources? An example of my stats would be… * 1022 visitors CPU Usage 19.21% 1282 visitors CPU Usage 18.05% 1277 visitors CPU Usage 20.27% 1565 visitors CPU Usage 26.28% * I know that there won’t be much you can tell me but maybe someone can offer any suggestions on if these are normal percentage for CPU use?
