When a visitor opens your Internet site, the browser sends a request to the web server, which in turn executes it and provides the desired content as a response. A basic HTML site uses very little system resources because it's static, but database-driven platforms are more demanding and use more processing time. Every single page that is served creates 2 types of load - CPU load, which depends on the span of time the hosting server spends executing a specific script; and MySQL load, which depends on the number of database queries created by the script while the client browses the site. Bigger load will be produced if many people browse a particular Internet site all at once or if a considerable amount of database calls are made concurrently. Two good examples are a discussion board with a huge number of users or an online store where a visitor enters a term inside a search box and tens of thousands of items are searched. Having in depth statistics about the load your site generates will enable you to boost the content or see if it is time for you to switch to a more powerful kind of website hosting service, if the website is simply getting extremely popular.

MySQL & Load Stats in Hosting

Our system keeps comprehensive info about the system resource usage of every single hosting account that's created on our top-notch cloud platform, so given that you decide to host your websites with us, you shall have full access to this data through the Hepsia Control Panel, which you will get with the account. The CPU load statistics feature the CPU time and the actual execution time of your scripts, plus the amount of system memory they used. You may see what processes produced the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, and so forth. The MySQL load stats section will show you the total amount queries to each particular database that you have created within your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account altogether and the typical hourly rate. Comparing these numbers to the site visitor stats will tell you if your websites perform the way they should or if they need some optimization, that'll improve their performance and the overall site visitor experience.

MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you want to see detailed stats for the load produced by your sites, it will not take more than several clicks to do that. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all semi-dedicated servers we offer, features a section focused on the system resource usage and the data there can tell you if your sites function properly and if the load they produce corresponds to the amount of received visitors. The CPU load data include the script execution time and the amount of time it took for the hosting server to process the requests, as well as what types of processes generated the load. The MySQL data will show you the number of times every single database was accessed, as well as daily and per hour data for the entire account. With both types of stats, you'll be able to check the numbers for every one of the past days and months, so you can easily see how the sites perform as the traffic to them increases or once you've applied some update.
