Excessive CPU resources usage is usually caused by inefficient third party themes and plugins or outdated code or misconfigurations (PHP/ configuration settings). If your site is on shared server, this is detrimental on other hosting accounts and so, the wordpress website overusing cpu resources is blocked. We are giving suggestions which are intended to help reduce the amount of resources consumed by your websites, they are not guranteed to resolve resource usage issues.  The vast majority of issues that cause wordpress to consume too many resources are the result of coding that we are not able to support.  But steps you can take to avoid cpu resource overusage issues are following, but before that you should take manual back up of your website:

 

(i) Generating a flat HTML page for popular content

(ii) Enabling caching through wp supercache, w3 total cache and Install a database optimisation plugin.

(iii) Disabling high CPU usage features such as searches or Ajax refreshes

(iv) Update wordpress to latest version

Please check any time you add any additional plugin, these can increase your resource usage. It is recommended no more than 3-5 active plugins in addition to cache plugins.

(vii) Limit webcrawlers and bots by creating a robots.txt file to block robots and search engines from crawling

(viii) Check your theme if it is causing such issues. Set your theme to wordpress default theme to check if you existing theme has caused issues related to overusage of resources.
