    Hello,

    I am experiencing a significant CPU/load spike on my WordPress site when the FS Poster plugin automatically shares a newly published post.

    After investigation, I noticed the following:

    • When I publish a post with FS Poster auto-share enabled, the server load spikes significantly.
    • When I publish a post without FS Poster auto-share, the load remains normal.
    • I already disabled “All Pages” Auto Purge in LiteSpeed Cache, but the spike still occurs.
    • It seems the spike happens when FS Poster triggers its sharing process after publishing.

    My suspicion is that LiteSpeed Cache optimization processes (such as CSS/JS optimization, UCSS, Critical CSS generation, or other background tasks) or purging might be triggered when the FS Poster process runs through WordPress hooks or WP-Cron.

    Could you please advise:

    1. Whether LiteSpeed Cache runs optimization tasks when plugins like FS Poster trigger publish/update hooks.
    2. If there is a recommended way to exclude a specific plugin (like FS Poster) from LiteSpeed optimization or background processing.
    3. Whether excluding wp-cron.php or the plugin directory from optimization is the correct approach.

    I would appreciate any recommendations to prevent these load spikes while keeping LiteSpeed Cache optimization enabled.

    Thank you for your assistance.

    no , I don’t think JS/CSS …etc will cause that much resources

    few things you could try :

    1. plugin debug log , see what exactly was purged during that auto post action , even you have disable auto purge, there could still some 3rd party API call to purge , so need to check the log
    2. check the access log before/around/after the post action , see if there is any significant request amounts

    Hello,

    Yes, I have been checking the access logs during FS Poster’s auto-share process to social media accounts, and I noticed a large number of requests from LiteSpeed at the same time. That’s why I suspected LiteSpeed may be contributing to the CPU spike.

    Could you clarify whether this is caused by cache purging or auto-purging within LiteSpeed, even though “All Pages” auto-purge is disabled?

    Thank you for your guidance.

    Is it ok to paste the log here? By the way, is there a way to exclude a plugin from litespeed?

    if it’s long log , you can share over https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ , if short, yes, it’s okay to share here , you may remove any sensitive info if needed.

    and no , the cache is system-wide , you can not simply pull off a plugin from cache system
