Hello
Thank you for your question.
We have tested the CleanTalk Security plugin by P3 – Plugin Performance Profiler in comparison with other plugins. And here are the results

P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) – 0.0012 sec – 0.33%
Akismet Anti-Spam – 0.0033 sec – 0.93%
Buddypress – 0.1837 sec – 51.26%
Cleantalk Spam Protect – 0.0160 sec – 4.46%
Contact Form 7 – 0.0209 sec – 5.84%
Ninja Forms – 0.1225 sec – 34.19%
Security by CleanTalk – 0.0107 sec – 2.99%
We don’t see anything extraordinary. Could you do the same test and show us the results?

Thank you for your response.
I cant use P3 as it doesn’t work on PHP7+ websites.
I think you may have misunderstood. Im not talking about it affecting my website load speeds. Im talking about CPU usage on my server.
This is the CPU executions usage graph from my server cPanel:

Those large spikes are during the 10 hour period where I had the plugin enabled on 3 websites. As soon as I removed the plugin, my usage went back to normal. Something regards this plugin is causing very high server CPU time & executions usage. As I said, it didn’t affect load speeds. The websites continued to work well. But if I had left the plugins activated, I would be reaching my CPU limits and risk my account being suspended.
Im currently hosted with Sitegorund – on their GoGeek service – which sets CPU and executions limits for each account.

Thank you for your feedback.
In a time when our plugins are working, they can make some CPU load, but its level should not be extreme.
Is it possible to send us your server and PHP logs in those moments when our plugin was working? It helps us to analyze the problem.
Best regards
I can get you the raw access logs, if that helps. Looking at them it seems during the spikes there are a lot of hits on admin-ajax.php from the plugin settings page: /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=spbc
Not sure what to make of it. I’ll paste the log below:

@soojooko log data doesn’t work here. And you posted 5,200 lines. Please don’t do that again.
If you really need to share that (you really don’t, asking volunteers to sort that much data is too much) then please create a paste on https://pastebin.com/ and share just the link to that paste.
It will be better that you create a ticket in our private Ticket System:
https://cleantalk.org/my/support/open
There you can send us everything that is required and we can see all history
Best regards
@jan – sorry about that. I’ll not do it again! 🙂
@serge
I wanted to post this to a ticket, but when I click “Open a support ticket” in my cleantalk dashboard, it redirects me to this WordPress support forum. How can I contact you guys directly and give you the log?

Hello,
We have fixed that. Please, install the plugin from here: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/security-malware-firewall.zip
Please, don’t forget to deactivate and delete the current version before installation!
Mark the topic as resolved if it so. Contact us if you have questions.
Hi,
We have been having the same issue. Once we post an event using event plugin our CPU usage would hit 60-75% and lock us out. We tried deactivating-activating each plugin and once we deactivate your plugin usage goes back to normal. See I am not advanced user but just researching and talking to our server provider i did this test. My question is I want to continue using clean talk as its a great plugin. Does above plugin works for my situation too? How can I tell? Or should I upload above plugin (security-malware-firewall) regardless? Is it a separate plugin? Thank you for your help.

Hello,
We have made some fixes, here is the fixed version for you: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/security-malware-firewall.zip
But i wonder, what are these “event plugin” and “event” you have mentioned? It would be wonderful if you send us a link to this plugin and event.
Please, contact us.
