The CPU load is dependent upon the time a hosting server spends executing a script every time a visitor opens a webpage on a particular script-driven Internet site. Static HTML Internet sites use barely any CPU time, but this isn't the case with the much more advanced and functional scripts, which use a database and display dynamic content. The more clients open such a site, the more load shall be produced on the web server and if the database is large, the MySQL server will be loaded as well. An example of what may cause high load is a web-based store with a huge number of products. If it is popular, plenty of people will be exploring it all at once and if they look for items, the entire database containing all of the products shall also be frequently accessed by the script, resulting in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load data can provide an idea of how the website is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you simply need a more potent hosting solution - if the site is extremely popular and the established setup can't deal with the load.

MySQL & Load Stats in Cloud Hosting

Our system keeps detailed information about the system resource usage of every cloud hosting account that is set up on our top-notch cloud platform, so in case you decide to host your websites with us, you shall have full access to this information via the Hepsia CP, which you shall 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.

Statistics are produced every 6 hours, but if needed, you may also check figures for previous days or months. The MySQL Load section shall show you the total number of database queries each day and per hour, along with the queries to each individual database you have inside your semi-dedicated account.
