What exactly does CPU utilization measure?
-
I’m on a shared hosting box, and recently the CPU load graph is showing loads of 180%-220% in the mornings, till around 3pm PST. Normally the load is 30%-60% peaking now and then around 90%. When it was up over 150% I talked to my hoster and they said my load (even the load on the box as a total) is nothing like what WP Sys Health is reporting (it was all well under 30% at the time). Nevertheless, the WPSH load is measuring something and something of value because the blog is slow when WPSH shows these high loads. So I’m wondering what exactly is WPSH measuring? The CPU load on the box in total? Just my partition? Or?? Perhaps you could indicate also what PHP or other library/functions you are calling for the stats, so I can inform them where WPSH is getting its data from.
Thanks very much (great plugin, BTW)
