    Hi
    My site is wordpress and i dont use option 22 to install, i install manually :) (i dont know option 22 when i install my site)

    Everything work like normal but

    top - 14:46:54 up 8 min, 1 user, load average: 9.17, 7.53, 3.86
    Tasks: 203 total, 1 running, 202 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
    Cpu(s): 52.0%us, 10.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 7.5%id, 29.6%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.3%si, 0.5%st
    Mem: 8058916k total, 1504940k used, 6553976k free, 182472k buffers
    Swap: 4194300k total, 0k used, 4194300k free, 293508k cached

    Why load average alway higher than 2 :(, at this time i have 75 user online. And mysql load 180% CPU. I dont use woocommerce. Just normal wordpress site :)

    What i need to check to ensure my vps is overload and need to be upgrade or something went wrong ?

    Thanks

    My vps has 8 core and 8Gb ram :) and about 6k visit per day.

    Nginx 1.9.9 and Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.08

    CPU load optimal is 1.0 per cpu thread so 8 cpu thread normal = 8x1 = 8.0. 16 cpu server normal is 16x1 = 16.0

    so cpu load of 8 for
    • 2 cpu server = 8/2 = 4.0 load average
    • 4 cpu server = 8/4 = 2.0 load average
    • 8 cpu server = 8/8 = 1.0 load average
    When you type top command, hit number 1 to break down per cpu stats

    Centmin Mod is provided as is, so troubleshooting load issues is left to end user to do. However, there's many linux tools and scripts that can help you figure out what was causing the load issues and when.

    If you're providing info on this forum, more info might be helpful
    1. What version of Centmin Mod ? .08 stable or .09 beta ? If .09 beta when was it installed and when was last time you updated ?
    2. What's your VPS/Server hardware specifications ? cpu type ? memory available ? disk space ?
    3. Who's your web host ? Different hosts have different limits for server resource usage and some are more restrictive that others so it could just be their resource usage policy you tripped which may or may not be restrictive. If restrictive, then real solution would be finding a better web host. If not restrictive, then it's finding out what caused high cpu load.
    Tools and commands you will want to read up on and learn for basic system admin tasks and troubleshooting.

    Hi @eva2000

    This is normal and dont need to upgrade to higher vps or move to new dedicate server ? Sometime my site slow down to more a minute to complete load.

    less than <8.0 cpu load is normal on 8 cpu thread server 8/8 = 1.0 cpu load average. Above 8+ then yes higher load i.e. cpu load of 10 = 10/8 = 1.25 cpu load average
