If you have an HTML site, in all probability it uses a small amount of system resources because it is static, but that isn't the case with dynamic database-driven Internet sites that use PHP scripts and provide way more functions. Such websites create load on the hosting server every time anyone browses them, simply because the server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the information requested by the visitor's Internet browser. A well known discussion board, for instance, stores all usernames and posts inside a database, so some load is generated each time a thread is opened or a user looks for a certain phrase. If lots of people connect to the forum all at once, or if each and every search involves checking hundreds of thousands of database entries, this may create high load and affect the functionality of the Internet site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can provide data about the site’s performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic statistics and see if the site must be optimized or transferred to a new kind of website hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load in case the website is really popular.

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all semi-dedicated servers we offer, has a section committed to the system resource usage and the info there shall tell you if your sites function properly and if the load they generate corresponds to the amount of received visitors. The CPU load data include the script execution time and how much time it took for the server to process the requests, plus what kinds of processes generated the load. The MySQL stats will show you how many times each database was accessed, as well as day-to-day and hourly stats for the whole account. With both forms of stats, you'll be able to check the numbers for every one of the past days and months, so you can easily see how sites perform as the traffic to them grows or once you've applied some update.
