If you have an HTML Internet site, in all probability it uses a very small amount of resources because it is static, but that isn't so with dynamic database-driven Internet sites that use PHP scripts and provide you with far more functions. This type of Internet sites generate load on the web hosting server each time somebody browses them, since the hosting server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to provide the content requested by the visitor's web browser. A famous discussion board, as an illustration, stores all usernames and posts within a database, so some load is generated any time a thread is opened or a user looks for a specific term. If a lot of people access the forum concurrently, or if each and every search involves checking hundreds of thousands of database entries, this may create high load and affect the performance of the site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load stats can provide data about the site’s performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic data to determine if the site should be optimized or transferred to a different sort of website hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the site is very popular.

MySQL & Load Stats in Shared Hosting

Using the Hepsia Control Panel, bundled with all our shared hosting plans, you'll be able to see really comprehensive stats about the system resources which your Internet sites use. One of the sections will give you information about the CPU load, including how much processing time the server spent, the amount of time it took for your scripts to be executed and how much memory they used. Statistics are automatically provided every 6 hours and you can also see the types of processes that produced the most load - PHP, Perl, etc. MySQL load statistics are listed in an individual section in which you can see all the queries on an hourly, day-to-day, etc. basis. You could go back and compare stats from different months to determine if some update has altered the resource usage if the total amount of site visitors has not changed much. This way, you will see if your site needs to be optimized, which will lead to a better performance and an improved user experience.

MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Servers

Due to the fact that our system keeps detailed stats for the load that every semi-dedicated server account produces, you will be aware of how your Internet sites perform at any time. Once you log in to the Hepsia CP, included with each account, you should check out the section devoted to the system load. There, you can see the processing time our system spent on your scripts, the time it took for the scripts to be actually executed and what sorts of processes created the load - cron jobs, PHP pages, Perl scripts, and so forth. Also you can see the number of queries to every single database inside your semi-dedicated account, the total everyday stats for the account overall, plus the average hourly rate. With both the CPU and the MySQL load stats, you can always go back to past days or months and review the performance of your sites after some update or after a substantial increase in the number of your website visitors.
