My website got hit with a DDoS recently and had this continuous high CPU usage error for 4 days and the site will not load up, I take a look using top -c and it showed 200% CPU usage. I tried SQL tuner but I did not see any significant differences and my site is not able to load up

-------- Recommendations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
Check warning line(s) in /var/log/mysql/error.log file
Check error line(s) in /var/log/mysql/error.log file
MySQL was started within the last 24 hours - recommendations may be inaccurate
Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability
Dedicate this server to your database for highest performance.
Reduce or eliminate persistent connections to reduce connection usage
Configure your accounts with ip or subnets only, then update your configuration with skip-name-resolve=1
Before changing innodb_log_file_size and/or innodb_log_files_in_group read this:
Variables to adjust:
*** MySQL's maximum memory usage is dangerously high ***
*** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables ***
max_connections (> 100)
wait_timeout (< 30)
interactive_timeout (< 28800)
innodb_log_file_size should be (=16M) if possible, so InnoDB total log files size equals to 25% of buffer pool size.
