For that answer you will probably have to ask a RH expert - in ubuntu there are two folders mods_enabled & mods_available - the mods_available contains links to the files in mods_enabled - and you can just remove the symlinks.

Not sure for just a wordpress site whether this list would be sufficient - it's using mod_php - which is easy to setup - someone else may be able to point you in the direction of the fastcgi solution {which isn't necessarily faster! Or more performant}

 alias_module (shared)
 expires_module (shared)
 headers_module (shared)
 mime_module (shared)
 mpm_prefork_module (shared)
 php7_module (shared)
 rewrite_module (shared)
 status_module (shared)

You are almost certainly getting large numbers of requests because it is a wordpress site - and so there are standard attack patterns to try and compromise your admin interface (or PHP)

That shows you only have 2 incoming requests. How many lines if you remove the TIME_WAIT

Try: netstat -n | grep ':80 ' | wc

This may show lots of short requests happening over time

But to be honest the host important thing you need to do is strip down the list of modules you are using - that is what is causing you problems - the apache processes are so large you are causing the server to swap - 

If you are permanently using a lot of swap then that slows down your processes and can cause your request to back up (a bit like a traffic jam)

You should only really have about 20-30 modules running.

It show me:

# netstat -n | grep ':80 ' | grep -v TIME_WAIT
tcp6       0      0 X.X.X.X:80        X.X.X.X:16126      FIN_WAIT2

If you want incoming traffic you can do:

netstat -n | grep ':443 ' | grep -v TIME_WAIT

The incoming IP should be the 2nd address

(or ':80 ' if you aren't doing SSL)

Remove the grep -v TIME_WAIT to see all connections {and recent connections}

Another thing to look at is to restart the apache process and see memory usage. You can either use top. Or you can use a cron job which emails you the output of:

ps -e -o rsz,vsz,sz,cp,cmd | grep apache2 | grep -v grep | sort -k 1 -n

to see if you start or if it grows gradually

I did below rule, but not worked:
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 20 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

It can be done with iptables or take a look at fail2ban:
