The CPU load is dependent upon the amount of time a web server spends executing a script every time a visitor opens a webpage on a given script-driven site. Static HTML websites use barely any CPU time, but it's not the case with the significantly more sophisticated and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more customers open this sort of a website, the more load shall be generated on the server and if the database is large, the MySQL server will be loaded as well. An example of what could cause high load is an online store with a huge number of products. If it is popular, a lot of people will be browsing it at the same time and if they search for items, the whole database that contains all the products shall also be continuously accessed by the script, which will result in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load statistics will offer you an idea of how the Internet site is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you simply just need a more powerful web hosting solution - if the Internet site is very popular and the current setup cannot cope with the load.
MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Hosting
As our system keeps in depth stats for the load which each semi-dedicated server account produces, you shall be aware of how your Internet sites perform at any time. As soon as you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with each and every account, you can check out the section devoted to the system load. In it, you can easily see the processing time our system spent on your scripts, the span of time it took for the scripts to be actually executed and what sorts of processes generated the load - cron jobs, PHP pages, Perl scripts, and so forth. You could also see the number of queries to each and every database inside your semi-dedicated account, the total day-to-day numbers for the account altogether, along with the average hourly rate. With both the CPU and the MySQL load statistics, you may always go back to past days or months and compare the overall performance of your websites after some update or after a major rise in the number of your visitors.
