[Solved] High load

[JpTiger]

Apologies if this is a duplicate request, I thought I'd submitted a ticket but now can't find it. My account has been suspended for high load. It hosts two pretty simple WordPress websites, so my guess is one of them got hacked. My main domain is joelrputnam.com. Any recommendations for next steps?

They don't look hacked based on what I can see. No malware files or anything. I wouldn't be surprised if they just got slammed by bots. WP is extremely inefficient and causes tons of load when serving pages, so an unexpected spike in traffic can easily cause this.

Since it was almost a month ago at this point, there isn't much in terms of useful data in the logs. I've just gone ahead and unsuspended you. If it happens again, we'll have fresh logs to review for a solution.
