What is the server configuration used by demo?

I'm referring to the hardware configuration, the number of server cores, memory, and networking

This is a virtual server (Apache/Nginx/PHP) on digitalocean.com, with perhaps 100x X3 websites and Files Gallery demo, behind Cloudflare (does some basic image caching on CDN). It's only around $20/month with 2x CPU, nothing particularly powerful, and it's mostly running < 10% CPU. Of course, the demo has everything cached already, so there are not much processing going on in PHP.

Is 10% CPU with a webserver with 2 cpus considered alot?

For example, I recently changed from nvme storage (the cpu load average (according to the hestia cpanel was around 1-3 percent cpu, I got 4 cores.)

Now I changed to SSD storage (Still 4 cpu) and at times when the traffic is very high it can be anywhere from 4% CPU to 20%. Im not sure how such a big difference suddenly happened. (catch is on ofcourse)

I don't really notice any loading speed or other functions issues though..

Since I got 4 cores and 6 RAM, do you think that loading average cpu of 4% + or even 20% is too much?

Johnny91 I don't really know how to answer your question, but I personally wouldn't consider 5-20% CPU usage a lot. I would consider that a good vital sign for the apps running on the server, and it leaves lots of margin for spikes, additional apps and a higher volume of visitors. Any server will always require a baseline CPU usage anyway, just for handling incoming connections, operating disks and running internal tasks.

It all depends on what apps you are running and how many visitors you have, but I don't quite see why you think it is too much ...

Also, you mentioned you switched from NVME to SSD, but did not explain if you saw any difference in CPU usage after switching. I would not expect changing storage would affect the CPU, but I could be wrong.
