About to move a site to a 2 GB Droplet, but I keep seeing high CPU usage hyst by clicking on the home or on any other page.
I have Varnish in front of Apache, with APC and PageSpeed configured. Even with that configuration, I still see an Apache process gunning at more than 100% (yes, that’s true).
I’ve messed with the plugins and tweaked mpm-prefork settings, but have not seen any change.
If it will help, here are my prefork settings:
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxClients 150
MaxRequestsPerChild 3000

Has anyone been able to figure out what’s happening? I got same issue… <br> <br>
@natwar86: First you need to find out what process is using up a lot of CPU. You can run “htop” (run <code>sudo apt-get install htop</code> to install it if you do not have it installed it) and then press “P” to sort the processes by CPU usage.
@finid, <br> <br>Did you even bother reading (carefully) the article? What part of it did you find misleading? What part of the article’s recommendations are contrary to WordPress best practices?
