If you have an HTML Internet site, in all probability it uses a small amount of resources simply because it's static, but this isn't the case with dynamic database-driven Internet sites that use PHP scripts and offer much more functions. This type of websites produce load on the web hosting server each time somebody browses them, since the hosting server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to supply the content requested by the visitor's browser. A well-known discussion board, for example, stores all usernames and posts inside a database, so some load is produced each time a thread is opened or an end user looks for a given name. If lots of people access the forum at the same time, or if every single search involves checking thousands of database entries, this may generate high load and affect the overall performance of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load stats can provide you with information about the site’s performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic statistics to make a decision if the site has to be optimized or transferred to a different type of hosting platform that will be able to bear the high system load in case the Internet site is very popular.

As soon as you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with every account, you can go to the section committed to the system load. In it, you can easily 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 produced the load - cron jobs, PHP pages, Perl scripts, etcetera. Also you can see the total number of queries to each database in your semi-dedicated account, the total daily statistics for the account overall, along with the average hourly rate. With both the CPU and the MySQL load stats, you may always go back to past days or months and assess the general performance of your sites after some update or after a significant boost in the number of your website visitors.
