Question
20% / 45% CPU load every time I refresh my homepage, is it normal?
Hey guys,
My CPU load is very high, resulting in me unable to login via ssh or accessing my website (long loading or time out).
Im running nginx 1.4 and php5-fpm on ubuntu 14, on a 1 core / 1gb droplet.
I’m running 4 Wordpress websites (one of them gets 200 hits per day/others not more then 50 combined) on 1 droplet.
The php5-fpm pool for my main site is causing the extreme CPU load.
The CPU load is definitely not normal right?
Anyone know how I can find the root of the problem? thanks

I’d recommend using varnish cache and reverse proxy server. I’ve used for my 1 GB droplet hosting 6 wordpress website the highest getting up to 700 hits daily and have seen tremendous results.
Spin up a 512 droplet and give it a try.
