Plugin causing server to crash

Plugin causing the server to crash.

Hi guys, i have a plugin that seems to be causing the server to crash. Its on this site https:/www.nova.ie so basically

wp-content/plugins/modus-radio-station/pages/frontclass.php line 346 it seems to be calling wp-load for every piece of audio on this page

https://www.nova.ie/listen-back-favourite-shows/

so i dont know what the best way to go about it is.

Bottom line is that if a plugin is causing the server to crash, then bin the plugin - it's clearly very badly written. Speak to the plugin Author or check out their support forums to see if anyone else has the same issue. Can't find anything on Google relating to modus radio station, so it seems it's not very popular or even an official wordpress plugin.
I agree with the above. This kind of software should run on a local PC / Workstation, not on a Server. Uninstall the software completely, restart your Server and then use a Workstation for this application.
You said, "Plugin causing the server to crash" without explaining what "crash" might mean.

Could be a 500 error. Slow site. Crash can mean many things to many people.

Best to set WP_DEBUG + post a log snippet showing what "crash" means an Apache's error.log snippet, if the crash occurs outside WordPress.

Looks like modus-radio-station lives outside the WordPress.org repository, so likely you'll either replace this plugin with something else or open an issue ticket with the plugin's developer.
