Looks like most of your CPU is used up by php5-fpm, which is executing your PHP, or in this case your Wordpress site.

If you've loaded a lot of different modules/plugins into Wordpress some of them can be very large CPU consumers. So you may want to play around with disabling and removing some of them to see if your performance improves.

Unfortunately some plugins really aren't written in the most efficient manner and even with low traffic can cause high CPU consumption.

You can also increase your droplet size to get more resources as well.

    Can you paste what the 1 week and 30 day CPU graph looks like?

    Hrm looks like it spikes up and down, have you opened up a support ticket to have the support team take a look and see if there's anything they can spot on the hypervisor that may need some attention?

    Outside of that, prior to late August was there a plugin that you recently added?

    I just add CloudFlare WordPress plugin.

    I'm open ticket

    Thank you.

    Take care :)
