Understanding Server Load

Server Load is a number and is usually in an x.xx format with values starting from 0.00. The number expresses how may processes are waiting in the queue to access the processor(s). This is calculated for a certain period of time and the smaller the number, the better. A high number is often associated with a decrease in the performance of the server.You can usually find the server load value in the control panel associated with your web hosting account under “Server Status”.
