> Hi, Thank you for your reply. I did read that article before posting, but it’s not helping. How can I see how many processes do I use? If I can’t see that, than how can I manage the number of processes. I only use 6 plugins in wordpress. I would use much more, but the CPU resources are very limited. What I am saying is you should provide a way to monitor this limits (the graphs even for CPU) are very very hard to use and also to tune the limits to at least incorporate the minimum usage for …

**First Thanks for your reply !**  
Actually I already read the topics which u mentioned above !  
And also many more topics too!  
All those topics were explaining about the what is the EPlimits and resource limits only! Not a single topic showing how to prevent that!  
**I know infinityfree doing a great service to the people without charging small amount and help people to growth and knowledge! Where other hosting providers eat huge amount by giving worst service till now!**

But many users like me who are using WORDPRESS don’t have much technical and programing languages and solving their need using plugins only which designed by php!

Hope You understand that main the reason for choosing Wordpress is also same and it can be easy to control using plugins by those people having zero hosting knowledge!

**Here I’m not asking to increase to resources limits and other things when I don’t have any rights for that as FREE USER!**

same time basic plugins with no visitors sites also getting error na we should know the solving method before grow up!

**Simple I’m asking without knowing the tracking history how I or we can solve the issue !**

If someone can control the hits using limits then why its not possible someone can track what are the hits too?!

Anyways!

Finally I’m saying I’m not asking for the limits or blaming free plans!  
I’m telling you atleast give option to track actually what eating ours limit!

Thanks for searching around before you asked your question, it is appreciated.

That really is the main downfall (in my opinion) of WP, tons of cool things can be done with plugins, but they also slow down your site and cause it to use more reasorces.

> [@HELPINDIA](#):

Unfortunately, if IF does track this (but I don’t think they do), they will not give out this information.

I would just recommend removing all the plugins that are not absolutely necessary to your site’s performance. Also, do you use Cloudflare on your site?

Thanks!

Coz they include some fixing methods also including it when installation get out of control so resources may quite a bit large!

Without that how the limit can be calculated!  
I’m not asking the full secret information its better to mention along with suspension mail atleast!  
I’m just telling this coz of education purpose only! Not compulsory for ans!

Yes.I’m using cloudflare…! (FYI.My site under construction only and not published anyother place so its not under Ddos to exhaust the limit)

Well Cloudflare could be sending a lot of bots to your site. How are you using Cloudflare? (Control panel integration or [dash.cloudflare.com](http://dash.cloudflare.com))

Well, one or more plugins are causing this. I would remove ALL but the necessary plugins from your site, OR upgrade to premium hosting (It’s super cheep at less than $5 a month)  
Best of luck!

Well not really, the problem is that you do not get enough resources to run your site on free hosting how you want it. So it is the solution if you don’t want to change anything.

> [@HELPINDIA](#):

Its your plugins, you need to disable some.

Hi @HELPINDIA!

Can you list all the plugins you are using? Some of these plugins we already know to be very resource-eating so it would help to list all the plugins.
