If you have an HTML website, it likely uses a small amount of resources because it's static, but this isn't the case with dynamic database-driven Internet sites that use PHP scripts and provide far more capabilities. This type of sites create load on the website hosting server when somebody browses them, as the server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to supply the info requested by the visitor's web browser. A famous discussion board, for instance, stores all usernames and posts inside a database, so some load is produced every time a thread is opened or a user searches for a specific term. If many people connect to the forum simultaneously, or if each search involves checking a large number of database entries, this can create high load and affect the efficiency of the site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can provide you with info about the site’s overall performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic statistics and see if the site should be optimized or transferred to another sort of website hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the Internet site is extremely popular.

MySQL & Load Stats in Shared Web Hosting

Our system keeps comprehensive information about the system resource usage of each and every shared web hosting account that is set up on our top-notch cloud platform, so if you choose to host your websites with us, you will have full access to this info via the Hepsia CP, which you'll get with the account. The CPU load statistics feature the CPU time and the actual execution time of your scripts, as well as what amount of system memory they used. You may see what processes generated the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, and so forth. The MySQL load statistics section will show you the number of queries to each individual database that you have created in your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account overall and the average hourly rate. Comparing these statistics to the website visitor stats will tell you if your sites perform the way they have to or if they need some optimization, which will improve their efficiency and the overall website visitor experience.
