CPU and Memory Usage Monitor
In this section, you may measure how much of your allotted CPU and Memory your site is using at any given time.
HostGator advises that if your average site load is above 50% or your peak site load is over 70% that you increase your resources to serve your site to visitors better.
Site Availability and Visitor Stats
The next section of your dashboard will provide you with information about which locations in the world your site is accessible from, as well as information about your visitors, the bandwidth they're using, how many visitors you have, and how many times they visited your page.
The following statistics are in the Visitors Stats section:
- Bandwidth: The amount of bandwidth your visitors are using.
- Visitors: The number of unique visitors to your site.
- Hits: The number of times visitors access your page.
