If you have an HTML site, in all probability it uses a small amount of resources due to the fact that it's static, but this is not the situation with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and offer far more features. Such Internet sites generate load on the hosting server every time anyone browses them, as the server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to provide the data requested by the visitor's web browser. A popular discussion board, for instance, stores all usernames and posts in a database, so some load is created every time a thread is opened or a user looks for a certain phrase. If a lot of people access the forum concurrently, or if each search involves checking a large number of database entries, this could create high load and affect the overall performance of the Internet site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can give you data about the site’s overall performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic data and see if the website must be optimized or migrated to another kind of web hosting platform that will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the site is popular.
MySQL & Load Stats in Hosting
Our system keeps comprehensive info about the system resource usage of each and every hosting account which is set up on our top-notch cloud platform, so in case you choose to host your sites with our company, you'll have full access to this information from the Hepsia CP, which you'll get with the account. The CPU load data include the CPU time and the actual execution time of your scripts, plus what amount of system memory they used. You could also see what processes generated the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, and so forth. The MySQL load data section will show you the amount of queries to each specific database that you have created inside your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account as a whole and the typical hourly rate. Comparing these numbers to the visitor data will tell you if your websites perform the way they have to or if they require some optimization, that'll improve their performance and the overall visitor experience.
MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you want to see detailed stats about the load produced by your sites, it won't take more than a few clicks to do that. The Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all semi-dedicated servers which we offer, has a section devoted to the system resource usage and the info there can tell you if your sites operate properly and if the load they produce corresponds to the total amount of received website visitors. The CPU load data include the script execution time and how much time it took for the hosting server to process the requests, and what sorts of processes created the load. The MySQL data shall show you the number of times every database was accessed, plus day-to-day and by the hour stats for the whole account. With both sorts of statistics, you'll be able to check the numbers for each of the past days and months, so you could see how sites perform as the traffic to them rises or once you've applied some update.
