high cpu usage
-
After upgrading to wpdiscuz 7.6.43, we noticed a spike in CPU utilisation. This was because of a significant increase in AJAX requests.
In 7.6.43, every page visit there’s an ajax call for “wpdnonce” where the response is a wpdiscuz cookie, this would explain the increase in ajax calls and the corresponding increase in cpu utilisation since ajax goes straight to the origin lightsail server
I reverted the plugin version on staging site to 7.6.38 which was the version prior to the update. Upon checking, we can see the difference is that no AJAX calls are made by wpdiscuz upon page loads, confirming that the plugin update was responsible for the change in behaviour, increase in AJAX calls, and subsequent increase in CPU utilisation.
