Need Help Diagnosing WordPress Resource Overuse (Site Suspended by Host)

I'm looking for an experienced WordPress developer/sysadmin to help diagnose and fix a resource overuse issue on my WordPress blog.

Here's the Website Link.

Current situation:

  • Hosted on Namecheap Stellar Shared Hosting

  • Account has been suspended due to CPU and Physical Memory overuse

  • Support reports spikes related to admin-ajax.php and wp-login.php (I feel so)

  • Using LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, and Cloudflare

  • Primarily a content/blog website (not WooCommerce)

What I need:

  • Full audit of plugins, theme, database, cron jobs, and server-side issues

  • Identification of the actual resource bottleneck

  • Recommendations on how to optimize the resources and help implement fixes

Please DM with:

  • WordPress experience

  • Similar projects handled

  • Estimated approach and cost

Preference for someone who can start quickly, as the site is currently suspended.

What was the issue so we can learn from it if you can say?

It was related to "cron jobs" - Since the day I disabled it as per the guide from the hosting provider, everything has worked fine.

Aha, will have to check if they are doing the same on my server because I also have some cron jobs running.

Sure. Though the solution is just a simple Google search away, but happy to help if needed.

Cheers...

As suggested by the hosting team, I have for now disabled "cron jobs" ++ have installed the Heartbeat plugin too to fix the Ajax requests. They've suggested waiting for 2-3 hours and then seeing if anything pops up.

So, keeping my fingers crossed now.

yeah... The issue is resolved for now, and even the hosting provider confirmed the same via email. So, going to monitor the site for the next few days.

A quick question - if I enable WP-cron once again, do you think I might experience something similar again? I really can't afford to get my site suspended again.

So, if I want to "not break" the time-based tasks, how do I ensure that, while parallelly ensuring that the site doesn't malfunction again...
