The CPU load depends upon the amount of time a server spends executing a script whenever a visitor opens a webpage on a certain script-driven website. Static HTML Internet sites use hardly any CPU time, but this is not so with the far more sophisticated and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more people open such a website, the more load shall be generated on the web server and if the database is very large, the MySQL server will be loaded also. A good example of what may cause high load is an online store with a large number of products. If it's popular, a lot of people shall be browsing it at the same time and if they seek out items, the entire database which contains all of the products will also be continuously accessed by the script, which will result in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load statistics will give you an idea of how the site is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you just need a more effective web hosting solution - if the site is extremely popular and the established setup cannot cope with the load.
MySQL & Load Stats in Shared Hosting
Our system keeps detailed information about the system resource usage of each shared hosting account that's set up on our top-notch cloud platform, so given that you choose to host your sites with our company, you shall have full access to this information from the Hepsia CP, which you shall get with the account. The CPU load statistics feature the CPU time and the actual execution time of your scripts, along with what amount of system memory they used. You may see what processes produced the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, and so on. The MySQL load statistics section will show you the number of queries to each individual database that you have created inside your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account altogether and the average hourly rate. Comparing these statistics to the site visitor data shall tell you if your websites perform the way they need to or if they require some optimization, which will improve their performance and the overall visitor experience.
MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you need to see detailed stats regarding the load produced by your sites, it will not take more than several mouse clicks to do that. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, supplied with all semi-dedicated servers that we offer, features a section focused on the system resource usage and the data there will tell you if your Internet sites perform well and if the load they generate corresponds to the amount of received website visitors. The CPU load statistics include the script execution time and how much time it took for the hosting server to process the requests, plus what types of processes produced the load. The MySQL statistics shall show you how frequently every single database was accessed, as well as daily and hourly statistics for the whole account. With both sorts of statistics, you'll be able to check the numbers for each of the past days and months, so you could see how sites perform as the traffic to them increases or once you've applied some update.
