Try disabling all your plug ins and monitor the load. If the load no longer shoots up high, you know it's a plug in fault and the you can try enabling them one by one to find out which is the causing the high load. If you don't have plug ins installed then I'm not too sure
Qoo Reviewed by Qoo on . Wordpress DB making overload on VPS So I have (had) this blog with lots of posts, db was about 140MB, and lately, db is making huge load on VPS to that point, that it crash, and shuts down. It wouldn't upset me at all, if I don't have other sites there, and everything goes byebye. Right now, I had to put it in maintenance mode, so visitors don't pull data from db. List of things I've tried: I had W3 cache plugin, nothing, doesn't help when db starts going wild I've tried turning off all plugins, didn't helped Tried Rating: 5
