I have been using WPforo for about 5 years now with no apparent problems, although I had noticed the site seemed to be getting a bit slower.
The other day my host said I must reduce rows in database as there was over a million, which is their limit. We did this.
Then, a couple of days ago they said "the account is still using a much higher amount of CPU than most of the accounts on the server with similar traffic, so additional optimization should be done."
I have been trying to look into this and saw that there were far more visitors than I would expect, up to 5.6k some days. So today I added CloudFlare.
Now I have just received an email from host saying that "the resource usage for this account is not only high, but has increased." I have no idea why it is increasing.
They say my choices are "to either remove the WPForo plugin or move the account to a proper hosting environment immediately."
It is a non-profit site run as a hobby and there is no way a VPS can be afforded.
Is there anything I can do?
