What is the deal with the horrible performance?

[fastgox1]

When I set up with you guys everything was great. Now it has become one error after another. I am running a simple Wordpress site and between the lost connections and the failed back end fetch and slow connection in general, I have spent over an hour to make 1 simple measly post. What the heck is going on? This is torture here! I see lost of other making the same comments but no solutions. Come on guys can we fix this PLEASE!!!!!!

Mine is on Server X03. I just logged in and I see the CPU rating is at 100%. OF COURSE IT IS!!!! I have been reloading the same page for over an hour and I still cant get it published. This is ridiculous!!!!

We're working on tuning Varnish for xo1, xo2, and xo3.

As for why the connection is slow, it's most likely your internet connection--no one else is reporting issues with the forums.

The CPU on xo1, xo2, and xo3 are within normal operating parameters.

If you are seeing a CPU utilization within cPanel at 100% this indicates your specific account's CPU allotment is under full utilization, rather than the entire server's processor availability. Have you made any changes to your WordPress website recently? We see this sometimes with non-standard plug-ins installed that misbehave.

This may also be a direct result of the Autoblogged auto-blogging plugin on the account; these tend to take a fair amount of time to execute due to their nature of having to connect to other RSS feeds or post locations and parse the data before they can do anything.

Unfortunately, it's also listed in our Terms of Service:

Auto-Generated Content: Sites that use scripts or applications to automatically generate content are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: "Auto-blog" scripts; Automatic camera uploading utilities (e.g. security cameras or webcams), weather-related data information, and anything else that automatically generates website content for search engine optimization (SEO) or other purposes.

Along with this there looks to be a high chance it was also engaging in copyright infringement as it was posting links to view the indicated anime's online, however the sources don't appear to be authorized by the copyright holders.

In any case, now that this has been discovered, I am closing the ticket.
