# How to Monitor Your Website Resource Usage in cPanel

**In short:** To check your site's resource usage: go to cPanel, then Metrics, then Resource Usage (CPU and Concurrent Connection Usage), then Details. You will see charts of CPU, memory, processes and faults over the last 24 hours, week or month. Frequent faults mean your site is reaching its plan limits.

Resources here mean the processor (CPU), memory (RAM), and the number of processes your site uses. Leading hosting companies limit resources per site so that one busy site cannot slow down everyone else.

On our servers this works with CloudLinux: each site has a CPU, memory and process limit based on its plan. When a site reaches its limit it slows down temporarily, and some visitors may see error 508 (Resource Limit Is Reached) until usage drops, instead of the whole server slowing down. See [server resource usage: causes and fixes](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/what-is-the-consumption-of-server-resources/).

## Check your usage

**1.** Log in to cPanel (see [how to log in to cPanel](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/how-to-log-in-to-cpanel/)).

**2.** In the **Metrics** section, click **CPU and Concurrent Connection Usage** (Resource Usage).

**3.** Click **Details**.

**4.** You will see charts of CPU and memory usage for the last 24 hours.

![Usage charts](https://www.hyyat.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Resource-Usage2.png)

- **CPU Usage:** processor usage.
- **Memory Usage:** memory usage.
- **Entry Processes:** number of processes.
- **Timeframe:** the period to show (last 24 hours, last 7 days and so on).

Below the timeframe, charts show CPU, memory, processes and faults.

![Resource charts](https://www.hyyat.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Resource-Usage4.png)

- **Avg / Max CPU Usage** and **CPU Limit**.
- **Avg / Max MEM Usage** and **MEM Limit**.
- **Avg / Max EP** (entry processes) and **EP Limit**.
- **EP Faults** and **MEM Faults**: how many times the site hit its process or memory limit.

More details are in the **Usage** table at the bottom of the page.

If your site hits its limits often, optimize it (caching, fewer heavy plugins) or upgrade to a larger plan. See [how to find what slows your site with PHP X-Ray](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/how-to-fix-a-slow-website-using-php-x-ray/).
