sltlG	Background of the issue: I have updated the WPML Plugins but am experiencing high CPU usage. Symptoms: High CPU usage persists after updating WPML Plugins. Questions: Why is the CPU usage still high after updating WPML Plugins? What steps can I take to reduce CPU usage?

Please consider that WPML needs to run the code and do database calls for each language you have in your site, so a high CPU usage might be expected in your case. I'm afraid the only options in your case are either to reduce the languages or update to a higher performance server.

sltlG	We kept 11 languages for now and removed rest from our database. Kindly check again and provides us best solution.

Please provide some data. Do you have any slow queries? Duplicated ones? Does anything change removing all plugins except WPML ones? Where do you see the high CPU load?

You should talk with your hosting to see exactly where such spikes come from, but increasing resources might be the only solution.
