Each time a visitor opens your site, the Internet browser sends a request to the web server, which executes it and gives the necessary content as a response. A basic HTML site uses minimum system resources because it's static, but database-driven platforms are more requiring and use more processing time. Each webpage that's served creates 2 types of load - CPU load, that depends on the time period the server spends executing a particular script; and MySQL load, that depends on the number of database queries produced by the script while the user browses the website. Greater load shall be produced if a lot of people browse a given site at the same time or if many database calls are made all at once. Two illustrations are a discussion board with thousands of users or an online store in which a customer enters a term inside a search box and thousands of items are searched. Having thorough statistics about the load your website generates will allow you to optimize the content or see if it is the perfect time to switch to a more powerful kind of web hosting service, if the website is simply getting really popular.

MySQL & Load Stats in Cloud Website Hosting

Our system keeps detailed information about the system resource usage of each and every cloud website hosting account that is set up on our top-notch cloud platform, so in case you decide to host your Internet sites with our company, you'll have full access to this info via the Hepsia CP, which you will get with the account. The CPU load statistics feature the CPU time and the actual execution time of your scripts, and what amount of system memory they used. You can also see what processes produced the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, etc. The MySQL load data section will show you the number of queries to each individual database that you have created inside your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account altogether and the typical hourly rate. Comparing these figures to the website visitor data shall tell you if your websites perform the way they should or if they require some optimization, that'll improve their functionality and the overall visitor experience.

MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to access quite comprehensive CPU and MySQL load data that will give you more information about the overall performance of your sites. 2 sections of the Hepsia Control Panel are devoted to the stats, one for each type. Within the CPU Load section you can see the execution time of your scripts and how much time the server processed them. You may also see the kinds of processes that were executed. Stats are generated every 6 hours, but if necessary, you could also check statistics for previous days or months. The MySQL Load section shall show you the entire amount of database queries per day and per hour, as well as the queries to each individual database you have within your semi-dedicated account. Comparing this information to your traffic statistics shall give you important data about how your websites perform and you will see if you must take some measures to improve them.
