Every time a visitor opens your website, the browser sends a request to the web server, which in turn executes it and provides the desired data as a response. A simple HTML site uses very little resources for the reason that it's static, but database-driven platforms are more requiring and use more processing time. Every page that is served creates two forms of load - CPU load, that depends on the time period the server spends executing a certain script; and MySQL load, which depends on the amount of database queries produced by the script while the customer browses the Internet site. Larger load shall be generated if a considerable amount of people browse a certain site concurrently or if a considerable amount of database calls are made concurrently. Two examples are a discussion board with many users or an online store where a visitor enters a term inside a search box and thousands of items are searched. Having in depth statistics about the load which your website generates will allow you to improve the content or see if it is time for you to switch to a more powerful sort of web hosting service, if the website is simply getting really popular.

MySQL & Load Stats in Cloud Hosting

Our system keeps detailed info about the system resource usage of each and every cloud hosting account that's set up on our top-notch cloud platform, so if you choose to host your sites with us, you shall have full access to this information via 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, as well as what amount of system memory they used. You may also see what processes generated the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, etcetera. The MySQL load data section will show you the number of queries to each specific database you have created within your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account as a whole and the standard hourly rate. Comparing these figures to the visitor data shall tell you if your sites perform the way they should or if they need some optimization, that'll improve their overall performance and the overall visitor experience.

MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to access quite detailed CPU and MySQL load statistics which will give you more info about the functionality of your sites. Two sections of the Hepsia CP are dedicated to the stats, one for every single type. Within the CPU Load section you can see the execution time of your scripts and the amount of time the hosting server processed them. You can even see the types of processes which were executed. Stats are created every 6 hours, but if needed, you can also check statistics for previous days or months. The MySQL Load section will show you the entire amount of database queries each and every day and on an hourly basis, and also the queries to each individual database you have in your semi-dedicated account. Comparing this information to your traffic stats will give you useful information about how your sites perform and you will determine if you have to take some measures to improve them.
