Web Server Average Latency, Web Server P99 Latency

Web Server Capacity

This is the maximum number of requests per second that the web application can sustain without producing errors.

A higher number means the VPS is faster.

Web Server Max Request Rate

CPU Idle

This chart shows the CPU Idle observed on the VPS while the web application is serving 10 requests per second.

A higher CPU idle number means the VPS is consuming less CPU.

CPU Steal

This chart shows the CPU Steal observed on the VPS while the web application is serving 10 requests per second.

A higher CPU Steal means the hypervisor is forcing the VPS to share more CPU resources with other VPS running on the same host.
