    Hello,

    I am hosting my site http://www.velobar.ch at Synthesis

    They sent me this message recently after the website was down:

    “one major problem I found is high frequency of calls to admin-ajax.php file which is consuming too much resources.

    88Mb 554.037ms pid=2839 97.47% – – 25/Mar/2015:02:23:00 -0700 “POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php” 200 /var/www/velobar.ch/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

    It is very hard to tell which exact plugin/theme is causing that but I found admin-ajax.php in code of following plugins:

    PLUGINS:
    – mailchimp
    – revslider

    THEMES:
    – Joyn
    – Joyn_v2.0

    If the problem occurs again, I would recommend disabling above listed plugins and themes & see if the issue still persists?”

    I have deleted revslider as I am not using it.
    I can;t see MailChimp plug in being the issue as it is in such wide use.

    Why do I have two versions of Joyn theme? Is that necessary?

    Could you take a look and try and see if Joyn is responsible for the high frequency of calls to admin-ajax.php or whether it is a plugin or a setup error I have made?

    The only recent change I have made is that I asked Synthesis to set the address as http://www.velobar.ch/ rather than http://velobar.ch/

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Tom

    Hi,

    Probably is because of the WordPress heartbeat API
