The CPU load depends on the amount of time a hosting server spends executing a script when a visitor opens a page on a particular script-driven site. Static HTML websites use barely any CPU time, but it's not the case with the considerably more advanced and functional scripts, which use a database and display dynamic content. The more people open this kind of an Internet site, the more load shall be created on the server and if the database is large, the MySQL server shall be loaded too. An example of what could cause high load is an Internet store with tens of thousands of products. If it is popular, lots of people will be exploring it simultaneously and if they search for items, the whole database that contains all the products will 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 has to be optimized or if you simply just need a more potent website hosting solution - if the Internet site is popular and the established setup cannot cope with the load.

MySQL & Load Stats in Shared Web Hosting

Using the Hepsia Control Panel, bundled with all our shared web hosting packages, you'll be able to see incredibly detailed stats regarding the system resources which your Internet sites use. One of the sections shall give you information regarding the CPU load, like how much processing time the web server spent, the time it took for your scripts to be executed and the amount of memory they used. Stats are automatically provided every six hours and you can also see the different types of processes that generated the most load - PHP, Perl, etc. MySQL load stats are listed inside a separate section in which you are able to see all the queries on an hourly, daily, etc. basis. You could go back and compare stats from different months to see if some update has altered the resource usage if the number of website visitors has not changed much. In this way, you can determine if your website needs to be optimized, that'll result in a better functionality and an improved user experience.
