Hello

Thank you for your query. Would you please give me a full akeeba backup of your site?

You can check about Akeeba backup below:

If I may...

As I saw in your log, you made many customization in SPPB / template. And some of them may cause problems.

For example, WHY you deleted addons files from component folder, for example?

• components/com_sppagebuilder/addons/accordion
• components/com_sppagebuilder/addons/openstreetmap/
• components/com_sppagebuilder/addons/pie_progress/
• components/com_sppagebuilder/addons/navigation
• components/com_sppagebuilder/addons/instagram_gallery

etc. If you override addons inside Template it's OK, but please recover missing files from orginal SPPB package. Just reinstall SPPB with this same version as you have, probably SPPB 3.8.x! And double check if you will have files inside, site.php and admin.php. Deleting those files were WRONG!

Then wait few hours and compare CPU value.

Also I recommend to contact with hosting support if nothing will change. High CPU can be caused also by SPAM bots, so then using 7G Firewall inside your .htaccess may be recommended if you do not have other firewall installed. But security topic is on your hands.

Thanks for the update.

I'm using RSfirewall with my Joomla website to keep the bots away. I check for it regularly, but it is more SPPB related.

I didn't delete any SPPB files or folders. I will do an reïnstall of SPPB 3.8.8

Hopefully this will help with the heavy CPU load.

Rsfirewall is good product, but do not keep all bots away. Htaccess rules may help as well.

You can try, but as I said, ask hosting support which file(s) makes your CPU high.

I upgraded my CPU as my host suggested. But the CPU is getting overloaded once more.

Still by missing files. I believe from the addons that have changed.

Can you please tell me how to add these files again. Since I didn't delete any of them.

directory)

All spambots are being blocked, this is not the causing my cpu loads. I monitor it regularly.

There is no "/sppagebuilder" folder to be found here:

access("/home/MYDOMAIN/public_html/plugins/sppagebuilder", 0x7ffe1cb12070) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/home/MYDOMAIN/public_html/templates/shaper_helixultimate/sppagebuilder/addons/tweet/admin.php", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

So the server is getting to many requests of a folder that isn't there. What do I do? Or is this a bug?

I have re-installed com_sppagebuilder_pro_v3.8.9

But the sppagebuilder folders are not added inside the templates/shaper_helixultimate folder

Also missing are:

access("/home/MYDOMAIN/public_html/components/com_sppagebuilder/assets/js/MD5SUM", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/home/MYDOMAIN/public_html/components/com_sppagebuilder/assets/js/sppagebuilder_safari.js", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/home/MYDOMAIN/public_html/components/com_sppagebuilder/assets/js/sppagebuilder_safari_13.js", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/home/MYDOMAIN/public_html/components/com_sppagebuilder/assets/js/sppagebuilder_safari_13_1.js", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

As a solution I have copied the com_sppagebuilder folder to the shaper_helixultimate folder and renamed it 'sppagebuilder'.

For now this seems to be the best solution for this problem. I no longer get the missing file requests in my php-fpm pool.

That didn't help so much, ended up creating white screen of death and server fails.

Had to add this in the first line of index.php: ini_set('display_errors', TRUE); error_reporting(E_ALL);

To see what was the culprit: Warning: session_name(): Cannot change session name when headers already sent in /home/MYDOMAIN/public_html/libraries/joomla/session/handler/native.php on line 128

Warning: session_cache_limiter(): Cannot change cache limiter when headers already sent in /home/MYDOMAIN/public_html/libraries/joomla/session/handler/native.php on line 235 Error: Failed to start application: Failed to start the session because headers have already been sent by "/home/MYDOMAIN/public_html/index.php" at line 1.

In the end I deleted the HTML folder inside the shaper_helixultimate template and add it new from the latest Helix Ultimate template. That fixed it. Hope it helps somebody.

Thanks for the tip,

but most users do not have such a problems, so I can only guess, it was problem with folder/files permissions on your server or server settings issue in general.

Still had problems, only disabeling PHP-FPM (7.4 suphp) helped
