Support Analyst’s Talk

Have tried numbers of content management system, by comparing all of them, I think joomla is the most cpu consumed CMS. However, according to my experience, there are still couples of ways to reduce cpu load:

1. enable cache (otherwise joomla will go to mysql database to pull out dynamic content)

2. disable unuse modules (enable too much modules are the main reason to cause cpu to slow down, especially massive content list or statistics)

3. disable unnecessary mambot  (mambot was used to display or edit on articles,  so obvisouly it is another factor of resource related)

4. compress output (gzip output must be turn on, although it takes some cpu load to compress the page, however, it not only speeds up web browser dynamic page request, but also release more cpu time to calculate the next request).

Not in my mind that website hosted on hostgator could be ever suspended, however, this is a true story happened on me.

This morning, I was editing haohosting, a joomla based content site. After deleting all cache files,  I first found a empty page (blank page) appears with these words “an error occurred while processing this directiv” when I try to log onto website. So I did a quick search on google, found someone says about cpu usage could be intensive use so that system couldn’t handle the request.

As expected, after a while for site to be acting extremely slow, a page of “your account has been suspened”. I assure that most of you have seen this page if you had share or reseller hosting before. And it happened  to me many times when I host my site on hostmonster. But this is the first time when I host with hostgator. I have reseller account with them.

Anyway, I just contacted hostgator support and get my account released.
