Server resource consumption What is it and what is its cause? What is the solution?

First: What are the server resources?

The resources here are meant (processor) (memory) (databases) ... And so on

Arab companies are now heading to the resource identification system, which is a global system that uses bluehost, hostgator, and others.
This system determines the server resources for each site.
An example of this (the percentage of each processor consumes 5% in 5 seconds) ...
If the site or forum exceeds this ratio, then the server automatically stops the site .. and informing that the site is suspended for a specified period of time is usually long ... If there is no system that stops the site for a certain period, then the server will stop completely or at least the load will rise strongly affecting Slow all the sites on the shared hosting.

How important is this?

If your site consumes resources and there is no stopping or no system for identifying resources for each site, the problem will be much greater .. because your site will cause the server to stop completely and maybe the server will stop for a long time .. This will affect all sites on the server And since you are on a shared hosting, the opportunities for all sites to work must be equal and there is no negative impact on the system or the server in general.

What if my site had a small size ??

The size of the site does not necessarily affect the consumption of resources, the site may be 50 MB in size and greatly affect the resource consumption, and there may be a 10 GB site that does not affect the resources ..

So what is the difference between them ??

The difference in this case is that the site with the large size of all the code is written correctly and there is no Hack or any programming written incorrectly so that indirectly affects the consumption of resources (processor, memory or databases) ..
There are also some codes that cause slow queries in databases, which take a very long time to implement them.

How do I know whether these codes are valid or not ??

This case can refer to the developers or programmers in it .. There are hacks that are known to raise the load and consumes resources, for example (there is a vbseo) ..
Also, there are processes that greatly affect the server, including:

1- The process of taking a backup copy through the forum control panel
2- The process of repairing databases from within the forum control panel
3- The large process of sending mail simultaneously
4- The process of updating the settings for the forum ..

How do we solve these things as long as they affect the server ??

You can refer to the host to advise you of what can be done in this case .. or help you with matters related to hosting such as (taking a backup copy - repairing the database) ..

Or stopping the system of resources for a certain period until the process of updating the settings or the like of these things is done ..

Is it possible to know the hacks or scripts that affect resource consumption ??

The host is supposed to provide you with some logs that show you the problems you have .. Usually they are files with the extension .log ..
After viewing these files, the programmers will know exactly what is causing the problem to be stopped.
It is also possible to search in forums to find the hacks that cause high friendliness on the server to stop them .. Usually there is only one or two hacks that affect the server negatively.
