The CPU load depends on the length of time a server spends executing a script whenever a visitor opens a page on a given script-driven site. Static HTML Internet sites use barely any CPU time, but it is not the case with the far more complex and functional scripts, which use a database and display dynamic content. The more individuals open this type of an Internet site, the more load shall be generated on the hosting server and if the database is very large, the MySQL server shall be loaded as well. An illustration of what may cause high load is an online store with a huge number of products. If it is popular, a lot of people shall be browsing it at the same time and if they seek out items, the entire database that contains all the products shall also be frequently accessed by the script, resulting in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load data can provide an idea of how the website is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you simply need a more effective web hosting solution - if the site is extremely popular and the established setup can't cope with the load.

MySQL & Load Stats in Shared Web Hosting

Our system keeps comprehensive information about the system resource usage of every shared web hosting account which is set up on our top-notch cloud platform, so in case you opt to host your sites with us, you shall have full access to this information via the Hepsia Control Panel, which you'll get with the account. The CPU load data include the CPU time and the actual execution time of your scripts, along with how much system memory they used. You may also see what processes generated the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, etc. The MySQL load statistics section will show you the number of queries to each individual database that you've created within your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account overall and the normal hourly rate. Comparing these numbers to the website visitor stats will tell you if your sites perform the way they need to or if they need some optimization, that'll improve their performance and the overall site visitor experience.

The CPU load data include the script execution time and the time it took for the machine to process the requests, plus what sorts of processes produced the load. The MySQL statistics will show you the number of times every database was accessed, plus everyday and per hour data for the entire account. With both types of statistics, you can check the numbers for any of the past days and months, so you could see how the sites perform as the traffic to them increases or once you've applied some update.
