 * Hi
    Ive recently installed wpforms and put 3 different forms into pages. However
   I noticed high cpu usages time to time. How can I reduce this?

 * Hi gameslopedy,
 * I’m sorry to hear you’re seeing CPU spikes, however WPForms doesn’t do heavy 
   processing and should have a negligible impact on CPU.
 * To track down the source of this increase in CPU, I’d recommend a couple options:
 * **– Monitoring WordPress cron events** ([here’s a tutorial from WPBeginner](http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-view-and-control-wordpress-cron-jobs/)
   that shows how you could do this). That way you could see if CPU spikes when 
   a cron event is running.
 * **– Contacting your site’s hosting provider**. Though I’m not familiar with potential
   impacts on CPU, we’ve seen server configuration issues (such as misconfiguration
   of email sending functionality) that can cause significant loading issues. Your
   site’s host should be able to investigate this and any other potential causes
   further (and if you’re able to gather any useful cron data, it’d be a good idea
   to share that with them, too).
 * I hope that helps you to start tracking down the source of this issue!
