Load and CPU Spikes

Posted on September 2, 2025

I’m recently getting random spikes in load and cpu at least once in a few days, which slow down and mostly crashes the wordpress site. My question is that how can I precisely detect what causes this. I’ve tried several things like increasing wp memory limit but without knowing the cause of this, it is meaningless.
