Account Suspended Continually

Website is dotacademy.uk

Over the past few days my account has been suspended, but it looks as if resources are lower than shown in the given graphs. Either I suspect an issue with my site being targeted, or a technical issue. No access to the control panel means I can change, view or investigate the issue.

I am lucky to get 1 or 2 a hits a day generally and would never have more than 20 or 30 people visit in one day. This is a small website that was started to test whether the concept was viable before upgrading. It looks along but has never hit off, hence minimal visitors.

The site is running wordpress, which may be heavier on resources, but will soon be changed to a standard html site.

Thank you :+1:

Please point your domain away from IF nameservers.
This should give you time to modify your website

Do you happen to be using Elementor by any chance?

If you do suspect that your website is being targeted (happened to my site) then you could setup cloudflare with ddos protection (its free)

Firstly, it’s good to pay attention to what the suspension reason actually is. I checked your account, and in your case, it’s the CPU limit you keep running into.

CPU usage is not hits usage, and CPU usage is not a measure of traffic. CPU usage is mainly affected by what your website code does.

WordPress can be pretty lightweight or extremely heavy depending on how it’s set up. Plain WordPress is pretty efficient, but if you then add heavy plugins like Elementor or WooCommerce, that changes a lot.
