The CPU load depends upon the length of time a web server spends executing a script any time a visitor opens a page on a specific script-driven site. Static HTML websites use barely any CPU time, but it's not the situation with the much more sophisticated and functional scripts, that 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 hosting server and if the database is big, the MySQL server shall be loaded also. An illustration of what may cause high load is an Internet store with a huge number of products. If it's popular, a lot of people shall be visiting it all at once and if they search for items, the entire database which contains all 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 site is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you just need a more effective website hosting solution - if the site is popular and the current setup can't cope with the load.
MySQL & Load Stats in Cloud Hosting
If you host your websites in a cloud hosting account with us, you will have access to thorough CPU and MySQL stats that will allow you to keep an eye on their operation. You can easily see the data with a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The CPU Load section will show you the total time period the web server spent on your scripts and what amount of memory was needed, as well as the time it took for the scripts to be executed. The everyday view is the standard one, but you are able to also see the data from the past months. The MySQL Load section offer more details about the number of queries to each database that you have created within the account. Once again, you are able to see month-to-month, day-to-day and per hour data, which will give you information that is different from the traffic or the number of visitors you get. This way, you can determine if the websites need some optimization.
MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you would like to see in depth statistics about the load produced by your Internet sites, it will not take more than a few mouse clicks to do this. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all semi-dedicated servers which we offer, features a section devoted to the system resource usage and the data there will tell you if your websites perform well and if the load they generate corresponds to the number of received visitors. The CPU load data include the script execution time and the length of time it took for the web server to process the requests, plus what kinds of processes produced the load. The MySQL statistics will show you how many times every database was accessed, as well as day-to-day and per hour statistics for the whole account. With both types of stats, you can 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 after you have applied some update.
