Entry Processes

[novax104]

Hello. Recently I've been getting alot of "error 508 resource limit is reached" errors. When I look at the cPanel Entry Processes seems to be using 4/5 or 5/5. All I have is a static site and a phpBB forum. Can the Entry Processes be upgraded or is it something else?

Thanks,
Shane

Can the Entry Processes be upgraded

the short answer is - no
BUT
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 Out of date scripts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

Could it be the Tapatalk plugin? Is there anything in the logs? It seems to be happening alot recently but it's only just started happening.
