If you have an HTML website, it likely uses a very small amount of resources because it is static, but that isn't the situation with dynamic database-driven Internet sites that use PHP scripts and offer way more functions. Such sites generate load on the website hosting server each time somebody browses them, since the server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to supply the info requested by the visitor's browser. A popular discussion board, for example, stores all usernames and posts within a database, so some load is generated every single time a thread is opened or a user searches for a particular word. If a lot of people access the forum all at once, or if every search involves checking hundreds of thousands of database entries, this can produce high load and affect the efficiency of the site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can give you info about the site’s efficiency, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic data to make a decision if the site should be optimized or migrated to a new type of website hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load if the website is popular.

MySQL & Load Stats in Shared Hosting

Our system keeps comprehensive information about the system resource usage of every single shared hosting account which is set up on our top-notch cloud platform, so in case you decide to host your websites with our company, you'll have full access to this info through the Hepsia CP, which you shall get with the account. The CPU load stats feature the CPU time and the actual execution time of your scripts, as well as what amount of system memory they used. You could also see what processes created the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, and so on. The MySQL load stats section will show you the amount of queries to each individual database you have created inside your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account in general and the typical hourly rate. Comparing these figures to the website visitor stats will tell you if your sites perform the way they should or if they require some optimization, that will improve their efficiency and the overall visitor experience.

MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you need to see detailed stats regarding the load produced by your 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 that we offer, has a section focused on the system resource usage and the data there can tell you if your websites perform well and if the load they create corresponds to the amount of received visitors. The CPU load data include the script execution time and the length of time it took for the web server to process the requests, plus what kinds of processes generated the load. The MySQL statistics will show you how often each database was accessed, as well as everyday and hourly stats for the whole account. With both types of statistics, you can check the numbers for any of the past days and months, so you could see how sites perform as the traffic to them grows or after you have applied some update.
