- Cache
- Table Optimization
- Proper structure of Joomla
- Proper setting of Joomla
- Coordination with your Hosting
- Cleaning up your Joomla site
And lastly; check the files which involve your Joomla articles that are explained below.
We have been maintaining the Joomla website for our customers/clients and we found out that the issue causing this 100% CPU/memory in your hosting is because of too many featured articles. We have been isolating/troubleshooting this issue for more than 6 months and finally, we got the solution.
This normally occurs if you using Joomla version 3.x and 4.x
