The CPU load is dependent upon the amount of time a hosting server spends executing a script every time a visitor opens a webpage on a specific script-driven site. Static HTML Internet sites use barely any CPU time, but it's not the situation with the significantly more complex and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more customers open this type of an Internet site, the more load will be produced on the web server and if the database is very large, the MySQL server will be loaded also. An example of what may cause high load is an Internet store with thousands of products. If it is popular, a lot of people shall be browsing it all at once and if they look for 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 statistics will offer you an idea of how the site is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you simply need a more potent website hosting solution - if the site is really popular and the existing setup cannot handle the load.

MySQL & Load Stats in Shared Web Hosting

Using the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all our shared web hosting offers, you will be able to see rather detailed stats regarding the system resources which your Internet sites use. One of the sections will give you information regarding the CPU load, like how much processing time the hosting server spent, the span of time it took for your scripts to be executed and what amount of memory they used. Statistics are routinely provided every six hours and you can also see the kinds of processes that produced the most load - PHP, Perl, etc. MySQL load statistics are listed in a separate section in which you could see all the queries on an hourly, day-to-day, and so on. basis. You could go back and compare statistics from different months to find out if some update has transformed the resource usage if the number of website visitors has not changed much. This way, you can see if your website needs to be optimized, that will contribute to a better functionality and an improved user experience.
