If you have an HTML site, in all probability it uses a very small amount of resources simply because it's static, but this isn't the situation with dynamic database-driven sites that use PHP scripts and offer far more capabilities. This kind of websites generate load on the website hosting server anytime someone browses them, since the hosting server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to supply the info requested by the visitor's Internet browser. A popular discussion board, for example, stores all usernames and posts in a database, so some load is created every single time a thread is opened or an end user searches for a certain word. If many people access the forum at the same time, or if each search involves checking hundreds of thousands of database entries, this may create high load and affect the efficiency of the Internet site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load stats can present you with data about the site’s overall performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic data and see if the site has to be optimized or moved to another kind of hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the site is popular.

Our system keeps comprehensive information about the system resource usage of every shared website hosting account which is set up on our top-notch cloud platform, so in case you opt to host your websites with us, you'll have full access to this information via the Hepsia Control Panel, which you will get with the account. The CPU load stats include the CPU time and the actual execution time of your scripts, as well as what amount of system memory they used. You can also see what processes produced the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, etcetera. 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 as a whole and the normal hourly rate. Comparing these figures to the visitor stats will tell you if your sites perform the way they should or if they require some optimization, which will improve their efficiency and the overall visitor experience.

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all semi-dedicated servers that we offer, features a section dedicated to the system resource usage and the data there will tell you if your websites perform well and if the load they generate corresponds to the total amount of received visitors. The CPU load data include the script execution time and the span of time it took for the hosting server to process the requests, and what kinds of processes produced the load. The MySQL stats shall show you the number of times each database was accessed, plus everyday and by the hour statistics for the entire account. With both types of statistics, you'll be able to check the numbers for each of the past days and months, so you can see how the websites perform as the traffic to them increases or once you've applied some update.
