Wordpress works by only loading one index.php with additional request parameters that control which database entries are displayed in the browser.

I don't have a wordpress install at hand so the parameters are likely different, but it works largely like that: 

http://example.org/wp/index.php?id=222

would tell Wordpress to load the blog entry with the internal id 222 and display it.

  • In addition requests for static content are handled directly by the webserver and won't show as identifiable processes belonging to a specific user/site in `top` – HBruijn Sep 19 '16 at 13:04
