The CPU load depends upon the time a web server spends executing a script when a visitor opens a page on a specific script-driven website. Static HTML sites use barely any CPU time, but this isn't so with the significantly more sophisticated and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more clients open such an Internet site, the more load shall be created on the hosting server and if the database is very large, the MySQL server will be loaded as well. An example of what can cause high load is an online store with tens of thousands of products. If it is popular, a lot of people will be exploring it simultaneously and if they look for items, the whole database which contains all the products shall also be constantly accessed by the script, resulting in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load data will give you an idea of how the website is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you simply just need a more potent website hosting solution - if the website is extremely popular and the existing setup can't handle the load.

MySQL & Load Stats in Website Hosting

Using the Hepsia CP, included with all of our website hosting packages, you will be able to see rather comprehensive statistics concerning the system resources your websites use. One of the sections will give you info on the CPU load, such as how much processing time the server spent, the span of time it took for your scripts to be executed and exactly how much memory they used. Stats are routinely provided every 6 hours and you may also see the types of processes that produced the most load - PHP, Perl, and so on. MySQL load stats are listed inside an individual section in which you'll be able to see all the queries on an hourly, everyday, etc. basis. You could go back and compare statistics from different months to find out if some update has changed the resource usage if the amount of website visitors has not changed much. In this way, you can determine if your site needs to be optimized, which will result in a better overall performance and an improved user experience.

MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you want to see thorough stats about the load created by your sites, it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to do this. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all semi-dedicated servers that we offer, has a section devoted to the system resource usage and the information there shall tell you if your websites operate properly and if the load they create corresponds to the total amount of received site visitors. The CPU load stats include the script execution time and the time it took for the machine to process the requests, plus what sorts of processes created the load. The MySQL data shall show you how often each individual database was accessed, and daily and hourly stats for the entire account. With both forms of statistics, you'll be able to check the numbers for each of the past days and months, so you can easily see how the websites perform as the traffic to them increases or once you've applied some update.
