    Check you server for attack. If there are lots of nobody connections then there must be attack or heavy traffic. I will suggest you to check how many apache connections you are having on server by using netstat command.

    Also try to find out that nobody connections are coming from which IP and try to block IP in firewall or iptables.

    Yes that configuration is for tweaking the Apache settings as per your server connection. You can refer below link:

    https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Global+Configuration

    You can login to the server via SSH and use sar -q command to check load average of the server.

    Load average is normal for your server so no issue with it. Regarding nobody connections it can be normal users or there may be a chance that from single IP lots of connections are hitting your server.

    I will recommend you to check how much connections you are having on port 80 ? Are they from single IP or from multiple IP's ? If connections are from single IP then you can try blocking that IP.
