Every time a visitor opens your site, the web browser sends a request to the web server, which executes it and provides the desired content as a response. A simple HTML site uses negligible system resources due to the fact that it's static, but database-driven platforms are more demanding and use far more processing time. Each page that is served produces 2 types of load - CPU load, which depends on the time the web server spends executing a particular script; and MySQL load, which depends on the number of database queries produced by the script while the client browses the website. Bigger load shall be produced if a lot of people look through a given website simultaneously or if a considerable amount of database calls are made at the same time. Two illustrations are a discussion board with many users or an online store in which a visitor enters a term in a search box and thousands of items are searched. Having in depth statistics about the load your website generates will allow you to improve the content or see if it is the perfect time to switch to a more powerful kind of website hosting service, if the site is simply getting very popular.
MySQL & Load Stats in Shared Hosting
Using the Hepsia CP, which comes with all of our shared hosting packages, you will be able to see really detailed stats about the system resources that your Internet sites use. One of the sections will give you information about the CPU load, such as how much processing time the web server spent, the length of time it took for your scripts to be executed and the amount of memory they used. Statistics are automatically produced every 6 hours and you could also see the different types of processes that produced the most load - PHP, Perl, and so forth. MySQL load data are listed in an individual section in which you can see all the queries on an hourly, everyday, etc. basis. You could go back and compare stats from different months to determine if some update has altered the resource usage if the total amount of website visitors hasn't changed much. Thus, you will see if your Internet site needs to be optimized, which will result in a better performance and an improved user experience.
MySQL & Load Stats in Semi-dedicated Servers
As our system keeps comprehensive stats for the load which every semi-dedicated server account generates, you'll be aware of how your websites perform at any time. Once you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with each account, you should check out the section committed to the system load. In it, you will see the processing time our system spent on your scripts, the time it took for the scripts to be actually executed and what kinds of processes generated the load - cron jobs, PHP pages, Perl scripts, and so forth. Additionally you can see the number of queries to each database in your semi-dedicated account, the total day-to-day statistics for the account overall, plus the average hourly rate. With both the CPU and the MySQL load stats, you may always go back to past days or months and examine the efficiency of your Internet sites after some update or after a sizeable boost in the number of your website visitors.
