The CPU load depends on the amount of time a hosting server spends executing a script every time a visitor opens a webpage on a particular script-driven Internet site. Static HTML sites use barely any CPU time, but it's not so with the much more advanced and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more people open this kind of a site, the more load will be produced on the web server and if the database is very large, the MySQL server shall be loaded too. An example of what can cause high load is an online store with tens of thousands of products. If it's popular, many people will be exploring it at the same time and if they seek out items, the entire database containing all of the products will also be continuously accessed by the script, which will result in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load stats can provide an idea of how the website is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you simply need a more potent hosting solution - if the site is very popular and the established setup cannot deal with the load.

MySQL & Load Stats in Web Hosting

Our system keeps comprehensive information about the system resource usage of each web hosting account which is created on our top-notch cloud platform, so in case you opt to host your sites with us, you'll have full access to this data via the Hepsia Control Panel, which you will get with the account. The CPU load statistics include the CPU time and the actual execution time of your scripts, as well as what amount of system memory they used. You can also see what processes generated the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, and so on. The MySQL load statistics section will show you the total amount queries to each specific database you have created in your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account in general and the normal hourly rate. Comparing these figures to the visitor data will tell you if your Internet sites perform the way they have to or if they need some optimization, that'll improve their performance and the overall site visitor experience.
