Performance Monitoring for Magento 1

View the current Magento performance and detailed load history

Many of our customers have faced the difficulties in choosing a server for their website. Really, how to choose a server? How to understand that the server can handle the load, especially on the holiday season?

Magento platform has minimal system requirements to a server so that the basic installation can work smoothly. However, you could not find merchants who would not have a Magento theme or plugins and modules installed on their websites. Most of these products influence CPU and RAM usage significantly. Sometimes a merchant does not understand what is happening with the store, as there may be no any problem, but the store works slowly. Sounds familiar?

To avoid such a situation, it is vital to have a specific tool to monitor the server load. And it is surely important not only to check the load at a particular moment of time but also to monitor it in the background.

The most common reasons of increased load

• Slow loading web pages - the slower the page is loaded, the slower system work
• Insufficient amount of RAM makes a system use the hard disk (so called “swapping”) which operates much slower than RAM
• Running slow processes via cron
• Resource consumption of third-party applications

All these reasons can be tracked with the help of the Magento Performance Monitoring extension. All the necessary information, such as CPU, RAM usage and a number of useful graphs and charts, is displayed in Magento Admin Panel.
