    Hi Im desprate for help as my hosting provider has provided none and im stuck.

    Website as been great for a few years – the last few weeks due to increased traffic and possibly updates? My site has been maxing CPU.

    Initially i was told to upgrade which i did – same problem.

    Being a blog im in a hurry to get it fixed as my traffic has dropped due to the site being crashing and slow.

    Has anyone else had this error for wp-cron.php all of a sudden linked to CPU and if so is it a wordpress or hueman theme problem and more importantly what can I do about it to get it fixed.

    Ive been told to look at plugins but i havent changed any the last few months- and I dont know how to find the one with an issue if did. Help appreciated!

    Thanks!

    If you have a VPS, or if you have shared hosting and your plan allows you to set CRON tasks, you should move wp-cron.php to a CRON task. Perhaps your provider would be willing to assist; tell them you want your WordPress wp-cron.php file to be run every 15 minutes.

    After the CRON task is set up, add define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); to your wp-config.php file to disable WordPress from running wp-cron.php.

    This should buy you some time to figure out the real problem. It’s possible you have a bloated list of wo_cron tasks. It’s also possible you a plugin (or plugins) installed a CPU-intensive wp_cron task. It’s also possible your hosting company decreased the resource allocation in your plan. And a recent plugin/theme update might have installed something that caused you recent slowdowns. You’ll need to start doing some detective work!
