The CPU load is dependent upon the time period a server spends executing a script each time a visitor opens a webpage on a particular script-driven Internet site. Static HTML sites use hardly any CPU time, but this isn't so with the far more complex and functional scripts, which use a database and display dynamic content. The more people open this sort of an Internet site, the more load will be generated on the web server and if the database is large, the MySQL server will be loaded too. An example of what could cause high load is an online store with a large number of products. If it's popular, many people will be exploring it concurrently and if they search for items, the entire database which contains all of the products shall also be continuously accessed by the script, resulting in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load data will offer you an idea of how the Internet site is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you simply need a more powerful website hosting solution - if the site is extremely popular and the established setup cannot cope with the load.
MySQL & Load Stats in Shared Hosting
Using the Hepsia CP, provided with all of our shared hosting packages, you will be able to see very comprehensive statistics about the system resources which your websites use. One of the sections shall give you information about the CPU load, including how much processing time the server spent, the length of time it took for your scripts to be executed and what amount of memory they used. Statistics are routinely created every six hours and you could also see the types of processes that produced the most load - PHP, Perl, etc. MySQL load data are listed within a separate section in which you'll be able to see all the queries on a per hour, everyday, and so forth. basis. You can go back and compare stats from various months to find out whether some update has transformed the resource usage if the number of visitors has not changed much. In this way, you will see if your site needs to be optimized, that will result in a better performance and an improved user experience.
