The CPU load depends on the length of time a hosting server spends executing a script each time a visitor opens a webpage on a given script-driven site. Static HTML Internet sites use barely any CPU time, but it's not the case with the far more advanced and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more people open such a website, the more load shall be created on the web server and if the database is large, the MySQL server will be loaded as well. An example of what can cause high load is an Internet store with a huge number of products. If it is popular, a lot of people shall be exploring it concurrently and if they search for items, the entire database containing all of the products shall also be constantly accessed by the script, resulting in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load stats can provide an idea of how the Internet site is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you simply need a more efficient website hosting solution - if the site is extremely popular and the current setup can't deal with the load.

MySQL & Load Stats in Web Hosting

Using the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all of our web hosting packages, you will be able to see rather detailed stats regarding the system resources which your Internet sites use. One of the sections shall give you info on the CPU load, like how much processing time the server spent, the time it took for your scripts to be executed and the amount of memory they used. Statistics are routinely created every 6 hours and you can also see the kinds of processes that generated the most load - PHP, Perl, and so forth. MySQL load statistics are listed in a separate section in which you can see all the queries on an hourly, daily, and so on. basis. You could go back and compare statistics from different months to find out if some update has altered the resource usage if the total amount of visitors hasn't changed much. That way, you can determine if your Internet site needs to be optimized, that'll contribute to a better functionality and an improved user experience.

MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Because our system keeps comprehensive statistics for the load that every semi-dedicated server account produces, you will be aware of how your Internet sites perform at any time. When you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with every account, you should check out the section devoted to the system load. There, you can see the processing time our system spent on your scripts, the span of time it took for the scripts to be actually executed and what sorts of processes produced the load - cron jobs, PHP pages, Perl scripts, etc. Also you can see the total number of queries to every single database in your semi-dedicated account, the total day-to-day numbers for the account altogether, plus the average hourly rate. With both the CPU and the MySQL load data, you could always go back to past days or months and evaluate the performance of your sites after some update or after a major increase in the number of your site visitors.
