Server CPU: 100%

OK, but where can we monitor the CPU load level that you show in your video?

Are you able to provide us with your server’s SSH access as well so we can monitor your access logs and processes running to see if it is somehow related to the theme or not?

We have analyzed the load on your server and noticed that your website is currently being heavily scanned by a large number of different bots. These bots generate many requests to uncached pages, which in turn trigger a high number of database queries and create significant load on the server. As a result, your server cannot handle this load, and you see CPU usage close to 100%. This issue does not depend on the theme you are using.

You notice a difference when you enable maintenance mode because the bots see only a placeholder instead of loading full pages. There is some difference in CPU load when the default theme is active, but that’s because when WoodMart is disabled, your site becomes almost empty — far fewer elements are displayed on your pages, which reduces the number of database queries. If you recreated the same amount of content, widgets, products, images, etc., you would experience the same issue.

The solution is to properly configure access to your website and block harmful bots. Services like Cloudflare handle this very well or you can try to block them manually one by one via the server’s configuration. You can also configure caching on your site to reduce the number of database requests — for example, using WP Rocket. However, as long as these bots continue such abnormal activity, your server will experience performance issues regardless of the theme.
