Whats the best way to stop scripts from taking up too much resources when they run?

Best way is to optimize them and take out all the needless queries that cause problems.

If you can edit the queries on most scripts you will be amazed and how many wasted queries there are.

You are right about that. I have edited some scripts that made checks for all kinds of things that I thought were just ridiculous and not needed.

best way is to run tests constantly by making various runs on your site and see how that affects CPU usage.

There are many free online PHP courses you can take those, learn proper coding and then recode the bad scripts.

That will take up a lot of time and most people need scripts tweaked now so you can hire an expert.

Wow hiring an expert is costly and a security risk because most times they have to know all the intricacies of your scripts to get it working just right.
