I am still having major issues with the speed of this theme. Please see comment below from the host… PLEASE HELP
Hi
During the past 24 hours we have noticed a huge decrease in the CPU usage, but unfortunately, there seem to be new spikes logged on our graphs.
You can check here –
Most of the requests made by user agents are related to Google and instead of blocking them via .htaccess rules, we’d suggest that you limit the crawl activity in the Google Search Console where the bots are managed.
As for the other bots, f.e. Pinterest, even if we block it the CPU usage will still go above the threshold limits, which affects the server.
As my colleague mentioned, the main reason for the high CPU time is because of the admin-ajax.php requests that come from your theme and plugins.
You can easily check that in your browser without any additional tools.
As you suggested, the website can indeed be checked and optimized, but in this case the issue is related to the way the theme is coded and our optimization service does not include development or optimization of your plugins/theme or anything code related.
We can help optimizing the website for better speed and performance, while reducing the calls to the admin-ajax.php file is something you should check with a developer.
Alternatively, you can also consider changing that theme with another that would have similar layout but won’t have such intensive usage.
Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Warm regards,
Luchezar Dimitrov.
