Need help from Wordpress experts

There used to be a tool in the past called (D)DoS-Deflate by MediaLayer which worked very well as a free script solution. It should still be available and will work today.

CSF add-on for cPanel is better.
 
Update - The wait time is still horrendous even after disabling ads. Each visit to the site is spawning 7-8 processes and my client is getting mad.
 
Yes, the issue persists even as I switched to Vultr one of the fastest hostings on the market. It's messed up.

Carbon copy of your WHM/Cpanel config or a new setup and then a db move of the site in question?
 
The latter.

Did you do a manual or automated clean of the db?

Maybe you could list the things you’ve already done to try and fix your issue.

Feel free to send me a d.m. This might help avoid that the both of us receive a thread bumping infraction, but still allow the BHW mods to see everything we discuss.
 
WP Fastest Cache is best. But the guy's problem is more complex than this. Serious db mess..

Wp rocket works just fine for me and I didn't make any changes to the site itself. Tried deactivating every plugin, theme etc and other stuff to no avail. How can I fix database issues on vultr?
 
So far I've tried all you can do to fix a WP site - disabling all plugins, changing themes, cleaning up DB, switching hosts, trying query manager/query bar, checking everything manually, and even reinstalling wordpress and still nothing doing. Feel like pulling my hair out.
 
P3 plugin is one of the best plugin which you can install for better performance on your wordpress and you can optimize your website easily.
 
Have you checked the raw logs for signs of where the requests are going to? Also watching the network tab on your browser developer console, does it show multiple requests from the client?

Yes, only the "wait time" is abnormal in network in console everything else is fine.

That indicates that the load is coming from inside the php script and not from outside flood.

You should probably use some hidden prints in the php and print out the time they were reached.

print "<sometag " . time() . ">";

// something here then

print "<sometag2 " . time() . ">";

This way you can see how long it took from sometag to sometag2 and find what the hog is.

Do you usually clean up your database? there's a wp optimize that cleans up drafts and backup posts. Those make the system slow.

Anyway, slowly debugging using prints is the only way to find out, it takes time but you'll find it.
 
this is time to keep eye and pluck the issue,simply use wp fastest cache and rebuild cache ,if response is same then do some
turn off all the plugins and check the response if its been ok then means theme is fine if not then check your theme header file may be lot of out resource jquery or some are used.
seems its ok after turning off plugins then try to turn 1 by 1 plugin and check response
you will find a plugin which may cause for high load
further more try to use 3rd party websites for to check website speed like speed test instead of your local browsing
WP is basically resource suc***r so have to keep strong eye on resource panel
Suggest a better blog platform?

Yes, my old host told me something is wrong with the PHP scripts I was using. Will try it. I use WP Rocket and it optimizes the DB weekly.
