How to Check your Website’s Resource Usage in cPanel

It’s usually good to keep a track of your website’s resource usage. Tracking this is actually not so difficult. 

Lets dive in to understand through this tutorial.

The first step, as usual, is to log in to your cPanel account.

Once you are logged in, you will see the resource usage on the right hand side bar of your cPanel.
Scroll down and you will see your current server resource usage.

To view the resource usage history:
Locate and click on the “CPU and Concurrent Connection Usage” or “Resource Usage” under the Metrics section.

You will then be redirected to the Resource Usage Overview page. If your website did have issues it will show up here, but if not just click on the Details button to view the resource usage you wish to see.

Once you clicked on Details, you will see the graph of the current usage. You can choose your desired timeframe to view and click Submit button.

You will also see the table showing the detailed usage statistics.
