SiteGround has this resource page that shows how to reduce the CPU executions on your hosting account. Here is the first email that I received when my hosting used 90% of my allotted CPU Usage:Īdditional steps to reduce the CPU cycle: For the last two months at the end of my billing cycle, I have gotten a CPU usage warning email from SiteGround. Note: All the sites are running on WordPress CMS. In total, my SiteGround hosting account GrowBig, which is suitable for 25K visits/monthly, received about 68K page views. Other two sites: Approximately 1K page views last month.WPHostingDiscount: 3.5K page views last month.CallingAllGeeks: 61K page views last month.Following are the monthly traffic stats for all five blogs: I mentioned earlier that I have five WordPress sites running on SiteGround.

So relating this to “Suitable for X visits monthly” does impose a limitation on WordPress users, i.e., 21% of all websites in the world.

Executions are counted for the following scripting languages – PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.īecause 21% of the websites in the world are powered by WordPress which uses PHP, every single visit for WordPress users means one CPY cycle. If you open a picture or an HTML page, a new execution will not be generated on the server. Please note that this is valid only for dynamically generated content. The more visitors your website has, the more executions it will generate. What is a CPU cycle on SiteGround Hosting?Īccording to the official SiteGround knowledge base:Ī simple example of an execution is when a visitor opens your website, and your index PHP file is loaded. But, they do use CPU seconds to calculate the usage. This is partially true, as SiteGround does not use a per-visit calculation to determine your hosting usage. SiteGround states that the suggested number of visitors does not impose an upper limit, and should not be seen as a limitation.
