Hello,

it is sometimes desperate and apparently there is no one in the world who has even one meaningful piece of advice.

For some weeks now we have been fighting on our managed servers at Strato with a high CPU load and load. But not from now on, it's gradually building up over days and weeks.

Strato's support refers to faulty scripts, but can't tell me how to find them either. Data protection reasons. Now I'm hoping to find the culprit here.

On the webspace only a Wordpress installation and a few plugins are running, but even switching them off and switching to the standard WP template doesn't help. 

I have access to the Access Log, Error Log, and the SSH console with some commands like Top. Also, the Kill All command doesn't help there, CPU immediately goes up again.

How exactly do you proceed to find the error? I am grateful for any advice!
