Hello Drazen,

No worries at all — everything is fine on our side.

How would you like to proceed with the investigation? Please let me know the next step you suggest so we can continue checking this further.

Best regards,
Mikheil

Hello Mikheil,

thanks for the reply. 🙂

Best would be, if possible, to provide a Duplicator package of your website or ZIP + DB backup, so we can try and deploy site from our side.

That way we can, hopefully, clearly see CPU / Disk increase when WPML enabled, so it would be easier to debug.

I will first try to deploy it, and after confirming the issue happens in the shared copy, escalate further to our 2nd tier support to check and debug it in details.

I have enabled private reply.

Let me know if that sounds okay for you.

Regards,
Drazen

Hello Drazen,

Unfortunately, Duplicator and Updraft plugins are not working on our side — we’ve tried several times before, but due to the large database and file size, they always fail.

As an alternative, I can create a full dump of the MariaDB database and archive all website files into a single ZIP. You would then be able to copy it directly from our server via SSH or SCP.

Please let me know if this approach works for you, and I’ll prepare the package.

Best regards,
Mikheil

Hello,

while we wait, I have consulted with our 2nd tier and they analyzed your log. I know you mentioned you have checked with only WPML plugins, but can you please
try to disable WP Rocket and check if the issue still happens?

If still yes, then please disable Yoast SEO and check if the issue still happens.

There might be some interference with those plugins and WPML that is causing an issue for you.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Drazen

Hello,

Did you already manage to download the ZIP file? I accidentally deleted it. If not, I’ll recreate it for you.

P.S. I’ll also try disabling these plugins and run some tests.

Hello,

Thanks, it is large backup, so I was still in the process of downloading it.

I will proceed with new one now.

Please let me know how the tests goes and if any changes.

Hello Drazen,

I have already tried almost everything — deactivating WP-Rocket, SEO plugins, and several others as well — but unfortunately, there were no improvements.

Hello,

just wanted to let you know our 2nd tier is now working on this case,
note it will take some time to deploy and debug as the package is large.

Hello Drazen,

Thank you for the update.
I’m sharing our production WordPress Grafana monitoring chart from the last two days.

It looks like some job(s) may be running continuously and causing CPU spikes.
Just for your information — this might be helpful in your investigation.

Best regards,
Mikheil
