EasyWP: How to check your resource usage and analytics
Understanding your website's performance is a vital part of keeping things ticking over. Tracking your key metrics, from visitor traffic and behavior to your website's resource consumption, paints a clear picture of what’s happening and when. This kind of insight helps determine what content to create, how to improve user experience, and when you need to upgrade your EasyWP plan.
EasyWP hosting features an in-built tool for tracking CPU/RAM usage, as well as visitor-focused metrics, allowing for the analysis of overall website performance. Head to your EasyWP dashboard >> Stats menu to find it.
Using data for optimization
To truly optimize your website, you need clear data on who your visitors are and how they interact with your content. Here’s a breakdown of what the plugin measures, and how you can use it to gain insight into your website’s performance.
Top Countries
This visual breakdown reveals the geographical distribution of your audience. Use this to determine where your site is most popular, and refine your targeting based on where you want your presence to be most significant.
Source of Traffic
Ever wonder if your social media campaign is working, or if your SEO efforts are paying off? This metric determines the precise channels (including search engines, direct links, or social media) that are driving the most valuable traffic to your site.
Peak Traffic Hours
Don't post your most important content in a vacuum. By pinpointing when your website traffic is at its absolute highest, you can perfectly time new releases, plan critical updates, and ensure maximum visibility.
Visitor Device
Your users aren't all on desktops. This crucial data classifies traffic by device type (mobile, tablet, desktop, or bot), allowing you to optimize your site for usability across your most common devices.
Most Visited Pages
This highlights the content that truly resonates with the audience. Identifying your most popular content allows you to focus your best efforts, and improve internal navigation.
Visitor Graph
The visitor graph provides a visual representation of the stats from the previous 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, and 6 months offering at-a-glance way of determining traffic direction.
Available after 14 days…
14 days after website creation, you can access other useful tools and statistics:
The Traffic Overview section compares visitors' stats from the previous week with the current week.
The Opportunity section displays visitor data from the last 30 days.
The Insights section displays only the top five traffic sources. As a result, the percentages may not always total 100%, since other sources outside the top five are not shown.
Direct traffic source shows people who typed the domain name directly into the search bar of their browser and accessed the website from it.
The Page visited section identifies which pages attract the most traffic.
Tracking resource usage
To keep your website running at its best, it's essential to track its resource usage. The insights you gain from doing so will allow you to ensure your visitors always have the fastest, smoothest experience possible.
Monitoring things like RAM or Physical Memory and CPU allows you to proactively maintain that peak performance, helping you avoid frustrating slowdowns and keep your site fully optimized. You can also view the bandwidth usage of your website from the last 30 days.
How to analyze CPU and RAM Usage
Temporary resource usage spikes can occur for several reasons. The most common include routine software updates (plugins or WordPress), general updates you make to your site, or they could simply indicate that your website is handling more visitors than usual.
When analyzing your CPU and RAM metrics, the key is to look at the frequency of these spikes. If these issues result in downtime or a noticeable decrease in speed, you have a performance problem that needs to be addressed. For our EasyWP plans (Starter, Turbo, and Supersonic), the CPU/RAM limits are as follows:
When it comes to optimization, the goal is to always stay ahead of performance issues. If you still get usage spikes after optimizing your website, it’s a clear sign you’ve hit a resource limit. In this case, the best solution is to increase those limits by upgrading your EasyWP plan, which locks in maximum speed and allows you to continue providing an excellent user experience.
You can upgrade your EasyWP plan directly from your EasyWP dashboard in just a few clicks, with zero downtime for your website. Find out more on upgrading your plan in EasyWP: How to upgrade a subscription.
