We have almost 5 websites running on this server. None of them have this problem.
This is causing the CPU usage to be constantly at 100%, and a slightly higher RAM usage than normal.
We even scrapped the old one and built a new one and hosted it again, but after a few days, got the same issue. We have tried everything but nothing seems to fix it. We can’t even the source of the problem. Also the website has significantly higher bandwidth usage compared to other websites in just a couple of days, which I don’t think is normal. I’ve tried every other solution already available on the internet but nothing helped.
It’s only been a couple of months I started deep diving into servers and hosting wordpress websites. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated

From what I understand the problem is lsphp is using a lot of resources on the server due to the website receiving a lot of traffic?
Does the traffic look legitimate in the logs or are they randomly scanning pages? You can look up a sample of the IP addresses at [abuseipdb.com](http://abuseipdb.com) to see if an IP address has been flagged elsewhere for malicious activity or aggressive scanning..
If it’s not legitimate placing the website behind Cloudflare and ensuring page caching is enabled will help to reduce the load on the server. All depends on what type of traffic you are getting.
