Resource Limit

[adampoke]

Are there any ways to avoid repeatedly hitting the resource limit? I've just got what i'd call basic PHP code and I keep maxing out the "Entry Processes".

Your script could be resource intensive, what is the script exactly?

It's not a huge script but it does do a lo of MySQL queries.

They may be exhausting the max execution time. Are all the queries needed? Could some be ignored with conditional statements? You should get rid of any unnecessary code or mysql queries that could be causing this.

Not really, unfortunately there all there for a reason. :/

Is there a way to remove this limit?

I don't think there is unless you upgrade.

Try using the Resource usage in CP to see if there are any details about the problem.

information I have about this issue...

keep in mind - a "Entry Process" should take a fraction of a second to complete - therefore people confuse - the "Entry Process" limit - with how many visitors they can have on their website - A limit of 10 "Entry Process" does not mean only 10 people can be on your website at once - because the likelihood of all 10 people hitting your website's server at the exact same time (very small part of a second) should never happen

If you have little traffic to your website but are constantly at the limit of 'Entry Processes' - it could mean something is wrong with your scripts and they (the scripts) are active longer then they should be

x10hosting has found - in almost all cases - that hitting your account's 'Entry Processes' limit - stems from:
1. Out of date scripts
2. Excessive plugins, themes, addons
3. Poorly coded plugins, themes, addons
4. Not taking security measures such as secure wp-login\xml-rpc so bots drive up resource usage
5. Not keeping a database cleaned up, a forum or Wordpress blog with 50,000 spam users will use a lot of CPU on any user processing
6. Crons that do intense database or other processing
