    Hi
    We have been using Enfold for
    The host company has continued to tell us that this theme is consuming too many resources and crashing the server.
    On their advice we have made a costly upgrade so the website is now on its own dedicated server but it continues to use too many resources and their response is, again the Enfold theme and Avia builder are using an excessive amount of resources. Having worked with WordPress themes for a while now I find it hard to believe that its the theme but after having someone else look over it they too have said the theme is using an excessive amount of resources. Issues have been happening for a couple of months now and I’m really struggling to cope with how to resolve them and actually finish the site work.
    Can you please help!?
    The website was successfully running on another WordPress theme for years without any trouble on a shared server that wasn’t costing nearly as much. We allocated WordPress 500mb of memory, the site only gets around 100 visitors per day. It’s consistently using over 50% of the CPU. We have reduced the number of plugins and tried many other things too, the website itself is incomplete as these issues interfere with working on it.

    Any help or insights you could give would be greatly appreciated or I fear we may have to abandon the Enfold theme altogether.

    Kind regards,

    Tash

    Hey gameznet!

    I’m not sure what could be causing that to happen. I have a DV server with MediaTemple with 10-15 different WordPress installs all running Enfold for clients and have never had any issues.

    With other clients I’ve set them up with Enfold on 1and1 (one of the lower tiers of hosting options), Bluehost and even GoDaddy and I’ve not yet had a hosting provider mention and issue. Or in my case managing my own I’ve not seen any issue.

    The only thing I can think of is there is a server side setting or something which is triggering high cpu usage. You could try setting up a subdomain or alternate domain on the server and install a clean WordPress+enfold and see how it runs.

    Regards,
    Devin

    Thanks Devin
    We have got around it for now by increasing memory limit to 500mb and CPU to 50% of 2 cores. Everything now loads normally for now but its still using up to 250mb so we will keep looking into it.
