The CPU load depends on the length of time a web server spends executing a script whenever a visitor opens a page on a specific script-driven site. Static HTML sites use hardly any CPU time, but it is not the case with the significantly more complex and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more customers open such an Internet site, the more load shall be created on the hosting server and if the database is big, the MySQL server will be loaded as well. An example of what could cause high load is an online store with a huge number of products. If it is popular, many people will be visiting it simultaneously and if they search for items, the entire database containing all of the products shall also be constantly 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 Internet site is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you just need a more potent hosting solution - if the site is really popular and the existing setup cannot cope with the load.

Statistics are routinely provided every six hours and you can also see the different kinds of processes that generated the most load - PHP, Perl, etc. MySQL load data are listed inside a different section where you are able to see all the queries on an hourly, day-to-day, etcetera. basis. You'll be able to go back and compare data from various months to determine if some update has altered the resource usage if the number of site visitors hasn't changed much.

If you would like to see thorough stats for the load generated by your Internet sites, it won't take more than a few mouse clicks to do this. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all semi-dedicated servers we offer, has a section devoted to the system resource usage and the information there will tell you if your websites operate properly and if the load they create corresponds to the total amount of received site visitors. The CPU load data include the script execution time and the amount of time it took for the web server to process the requests, plus what sorts of processes generated the load. The MySQL stats will show you how often each database was accessed, as well as everyday and by the hour stats for the entire account. With both forms 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.
