The CPU load is dependent upon the amount of time a server spends executing a script each time a visitor opens a page on a certain script-driven website. Static HTML Internet sites use hardly any CPU time, but it is not so with the much more sophisticated and functional scripts, which use a database and display dynamic content. The more individuals open this sort of a site, the more load will be produced on the web server and if the database is big, the MySQL server will be loaded also. A good example of what may cause high load is an Internet store with a huge number of products. If it's popular, lots of people will be exploring it simultaneously and if they seek out items, the whole database containing all the products shall also be frequently accessed by the script, which will result in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load data will provide you with an idea of how the website is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you just need a more efficient hosting solution - if the site is really popular and the current setup can't deal with the load.
MySQL & Load Stats in Web Hosting
If you host your sites in a web hosting account with us, you'll have access to detailed CPU and MySQL statistics that will permit you to keep tabs on their overall performance. You are able to see the stats with a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The CPU Load section will reveal to you the total time frame the server spent on your scripts and just how much memory was required, plus the time it took for the scripts to be executed. The day-to-day view is the default one, but you'll be able to also see the numbers from the previous months. The MySQL Load section offer additional information about the amount of queries to every single database that you have created in the account. Once again, you can easily see month-to-month, everyday and hourly statistics, that shall give you info that's different from the traffic or the number of visitors that you get. That way, you can identify if the sites need some optimization.
MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you would like to see thorough stats with regards to the load created by your sites, it won't take more than several clicks to do that. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, included with all semi-dedicated servers that we offer, has a section devoted to the system resource usage and the information there can tell you if your Internet sites function properly and if the load they produce corresponds to the amount of received site visitors. The CPU load stats include the script execution time and how much time it took for the hosting server to process the requests, and what kinds of processes produced the load. The MySQL statistics shall show you the number of times each individual database was accessed, and also everyday and per hour stats for the whole account. With both forms of stats, you'll be able to check the numbers for every one of the past days and months, so you can easily see how sites perform as the traffic to them increases or once you've applied some update.
