When your self hosted wordpress site is getting slow, or lots of cpu quota exceeded errors, how do you fix it? One place you need to look is in your main directory (using c-panel’s file manager) – find a file called tmp. Inside it, you’ll see several folders, one of them is “slow mysql queries”.

What I’m meaning is 500+ individual visitors per day.
