I have a droplet of 1 cpu 1 gb ram running ubuntu 12 (32 bit) and LAMP And somehow i feel that the website is running so slow (wordpress with only 1 user and very few data because i’m still developing) so i put Monit and it says: Status Load CPU Memory Swap Resource limit matched [0.19] [0.41] [0.22] 11.3%us, 1.3%sy, 0.0%wa 85.7% [879476 kB]
so put some 1Gb swap and the cpu went as much as 98% so i ran top and i see apache2 is using most of the memories
Any solution I tried so many solution like limiting cpu etc but didn’t work
i’m a noob in linux and vps…so please be kind

so i checked, 3 of the most memory users are:
- apache2 (www-data) 10-20% Cpu Usage, 280-350 MB memory usage
- clamd (clamav) 0-10% cpu usage, 220-280 MB memory usage
- apache2 (admin) 0-15% cpu usage, 90-200 MB memory usage
is this normal? is there any way to improve this? please…
Finally this helped, none of other solution did any change (add swap, monitor for banned iP’s, upgrade droplet):
## Edit /etc/my.cnf, and add the following line under the [mysqld] heading.
[mysqld]
innodb_buffer_pool_size=64M
```
Then restart: `$ service mysql restart`
