Check your hosting resource usage
When your hosting hits its CPU, memory or process limits, your website gets slow or shows 503. In DirectAdmin you can see whether that happens, and when.
How to check the usage
What do the abbreviations mean?
CPU
Processing power
PMEM
Memory
IO and IOPS
Reading from and writing to disk
EP
Simultaneous visits running in PHP
NPROC
Number of processes
- 1
Log in to DirectAdmin and open Resource Usage under Extra Features.
- 2
Choose a time period.
The Faults column shows how many times your hosting hit a limit.
How to know it worked
Done
You see which resource runs out, and when.
Good to know
- When a limit is reached, new visits are stopped for a while. You can’t see which page or script caused it.
- Cache reduces the load the most. Don’t run several cache plugins at once. Turn on LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress
