Help Needed: Persistent Resource Consumption Issues with WooCommerce Site on VPS

[ad_1]

Hi everyone,

I’m facing a persistent issue with a WooCommerce eCommerce website I built using a template purchased from ThemeForest. The site has been running fine for over three years, but for the past 3-4 months, it has been experiencing frequent downtime due to high resource consumption. Here’s a rundown of the problem:

* **Initial Setup**: The site was originally hosted on shared hosting but started experiencing frequent downtimes due to resource limits.
* **Current Setup**: We moved to a VPS (Contabo) hoping to resolve the issue, but the problem persists. The site continues to stop working multiple times a day.
* **Possible Cause**: I suspect bot traffic might be overwhelming the site.
* **Subdomain Test**: When we put the website on a subdomain, it doesn’t experience these issues, which makes me think the main domain is the target (perhaps because it’s well-indexed and has good SEO).
* **Actions Taken**:
* Deleted and re-uploaded all website files – no change.
* Enabled Cloudflare’s “Under Attack” mode – no improvement.
* Currently limiting the number of requests per 10 seconds to see if it helps.

This website is critical for my friend (I’m helping for free because I recommended the one who made the website initially 3 years ago), and his business heavily relies on it. I’m feeling a lot of pressure to get this resolved.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Any suggestions on what else I can try? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
