Hi there. I have $5 droplet, running a Wordpress website for flash games. When the online users hit 30+ CPU usage is 98.5% almost always. I do not use any resourceful plugins, besides WP Super cache. I have followed all of the tutorials published on digital ocean how to run a Wordpress website. I ran top command to see what was the problem and here is the result: Link Maybe my nginx server block is not configured properly? Here it is:

server {
       listen         80;
       server_name    www.gungameshub.com gungameshub.com;
       return         301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

        listen 443 default_server ssl;
        listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
