WordPress causes 0 load with 0 traffic, but sites built with WordPress are prime targets for bot attacks. When bots discover your site URL address, they will keep trying to hack in, which causes load on the server resources.

Even if your WordPress install is brand new, with no plugins, and your site gets few visitors, there is still a risk of suspension for high load due to bots spamming your site.
Even if your WordPress install is brand new, with no plugins, and your site gets few visitors, there is still a risk of bots spamming your site. This could cause your account to be [suspended for high server usage](/accounts/suspension-policy.md#high-server-usage) on our [Johnny](../../servers/virtual/johnny.md) and [Tommy](../../servers/virtual/tommy.md) servers. Accounts on our [Morty](../../servers/virtual/morty.md) server will not be suspended but will be charged for account load overages.

Additionally, a lot of free themes and plugins can be backdoors for hackers, and installing them comes with risks. Once bots access your site, they will 'phone home' which then enables hackers to change your site files, set up phishing sites, send spam from your account, etc.
