The CPU load depends upon the time period a web server spends executing a script whenever a visitor opens a page on a particular script-driven website. Static HTML sites use barely any CPU time, but it's not the case with the considerably more complex and functional scripts, which use a database and display dynamic content. The more customers open such an Internet site, the more load shall be created on the hosting server and if the database is big, the MySQL server will be loaded too. An example of what may cause high load is a web-based store with a huge number of products. If it is popular, a lot of people will be exploring it concurrently and if they look for items, the whole database that contains all of the products will also be frequently accessed by the script, which will result in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load data can provide an idea of how the Internet site is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you simply need a more potent web hosting solution - if the site is very popular and the existing setup cannot cope with the load.

Using the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all of our cloud website hosting packages, you shall be able to to see very comprehensive stats regarding the system resources that your websites use. One of the sections will give you details about the CPU load, like the amount of processing time the web server spent, the length of time it took for your scripts to be executed and exactly how much memory they used. Stats are consistently produced every 6 hours and you can also see the types of processes that produced the most load - PHP, Perl, etc. MySQL load stats are listed in a different section where you can see all the queries on a per hour, daily, etc. basis. You could go back and compare data from various months to find out if some update has transformed the resource usage if the amount of website visitors has not changed much. That way, you can see if your website needs to be optimized, which will result in a better performance and an improved user experience.

MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you want to see comprehensive statistics with regards to the load produced by your websites, it will not take more than a few mouse clicks to do that. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, included with all semi-dedicated servers which we offer, has a section focused on the system resource usage and the data there can tell you if your websites perform well and if the load they generate corresponds to the number of received site visitors. The CPU load stats include the script execution time and the span of time it took for the web server to process the requests, and also what kinds of processes generated the load. The MySQL statistics shall show you the number of times every database was accessed, and day-to-day and by the hour data for the whole account. With both types of stats, you can check the numbers for any of the past days and months, so you could see how sites perform as the traffic to them rises or once you've applied some update.
