High Server Load
 

So I have had issues with high server load recently and I have gone through some of the settings in vbulletin to help with that. I then did the datastore change that is supposed to help it. I installed the microstats mod and this is what it says on the bottom of my page

Page generated in 0.20690 seconds with 14 queries [Server Loads: 6.47 4.77 : 5.78]

Now I am not an expert, but that seems to be a high amount of server load and queries. I am just looking at the best ways to decrease my server load so I can run quicker and with less downtime. I am pretty new to all this so if there is more information (like what queries I am running) I will admit I will probably need some help in figuring out how to provide that information.

My forum is just a small forum with a small amount of users, but I want to keep the board up as often as possible to keep them happy.

Are you on a shared server ? if so then those load figures are for all sites on the server, not just yours.

I am. Is there a way to see just my share of the server load?

No, there isn't. Sorry. You could always try asking your host.

Right I understand. Now what about the queries. Were those just my queries from my site, or was that overall as well? If they were for my site only did that seem kind of high or just normal?

The server load is an average for all CPU activity on your server for 3 time periods (1 minute, 5 minute, 15 minute from memory)

the query count is how many queries that page needed.
In other words, there is not much connection between the two stats.

14 queries is fine. I have pages that call alot more.

i take dedicated server for this.but my issue never complete.

Please do not hijack other people's threads - start your own.

okay im sorry sir.

I think you can use the 'top' command to view processes jailed to your shared account through shell.
