High Usage In Cpanel

For some reason, my WordPress Website has started using more resources in Cpanel and I'm not sure why.

Anybody have any suggestions as to what it could have been?

Yeah, it's probably a plugin or the theme that's causing it. You could diagnose it by disabling plugins one by one and checking the resources, or by changing the theme.

Another issue could be your caching mechanism is off or you have none. And/or your visitor numbers are going up.

Could be theme or plugin.

Better check with hosting support to find out details.

It could be lots of things... check the server logs for apache2, mysql and php. access.log and error.log

run at command line:

sudo apt-get install htop

check the processes in htop

make sure you don't have any drive partitions that are too full

check your server log files and make sure they haven't ballooned out of control

make sure that you aren't trying to run the latest wordpress on php 5.6

make sure all cronjobs are running only when they should be (crontab -e )

check email and make sure no one is spamming through your site

as michael clayton said earlier... it probably is plugin related so start there

also, get in the habit or writing down in a list all the changes you make to a webisite or server... it makes it easier to go back and pinpoint a problem

Have you done specific updates or added new plugins recently?

If none of this check MySQL database to make sure there is no corruption

check network traffic to make sure you aren't under some kind of attack.

when you say it is using more resources are you talking about bandwidth, storage, ram or processing?

Did you add any video to your site? This can cause alot of bandwidth usage.
