 * Siteground support asked me to post this here:
 * Yesterday my siteground hosting was restricted because of the CPU Seconds being
   over the limit. The person on live chat was nice enough to un-restrict my hosting
   so my websites remained live while I investigated the cause.
    After checking 
   the access logs, it showed many entries from my server IP pointing to SKIP_CACHE_SET_COOKIE,
   I found it was the siteground optimiser that was causing the issue. After removing
   the siteground plugin, my CPU seconds went from over 14K to less than 600 within
   a hour. I have had this issue on two of my websites this month so far. No other
   optimisation plugins are installed.

 * Hello [@lunarwebs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lunarwebs/),
 * I checked the case and the particular chat session. I believe there was a misunderstanding
   and the chat representative should have posted a ticket on your behalf, so our
   technical support members can review the situation in details.
 * Could you please post a new support ticket from your Client area > Question mark
   in the upper right corner > View Help Center > Contact Us so we can review the
   website’s resource usage and provide more information on the matter?
 * Best regards,

 * The chat representative wanted to investigate on my live site, and I said thats
   ok as long as there is no downtime. He gave me the link to post here……
    Anyway,
   I have removed the plugin and my CPU seconds are under 200 now and I dont want
   to have my hosting restricted again, So I will continue without the plugin on
   my websites.

 * [@lunarwebs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lunarwebs/) I had a similar 
   issue last week and was forced to upgrade to a cloud based server solution. Besides
   that, now I’ve had database issues 2 times and everything points to the Memcached
   option enabled. SG keeps mentioning the SG plugin and service works as it should
   and the problem relies on poor 3rd party plugins which don’t work well with object
   caching and so.
    Can you recommend a caching solution?

 * Hello [@srifaia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/srifaia/),
 * I noticed that the matter was already discussed in your last ticket.
 * In case you have further inquiries about how to use Memcached with your website,
   it would be best to post a support ticket so we can keep the communication there
   and avoid any misunderstandings on the case.
