Suppose your website or application is more sluggish than usual. How do you begin to investigate the problem? There are so many causes for a slow application, but sometimes it’s because your server’s CPUs are maxed out. This guide will help you find out whether that is the case for you.
We’ll start by understanding two of the most commonly referenced metrics of resource usage on any Linux server: CPU utilization and load average. We’ll explore the difference between these two metrics and then see how to check their values using two command-line utilities, uptime and top. Finally, we’ll look at how to track these metrics over time with DigitalOcean Monitoring and set an alerting policy so you can get notified by email or Slack when the metrics rise above their usual values.

I switched from my regular Intel droplet to an Intel Premium droplet for the databases, and I’m getting a lot of stuttering on the newer droplet with fewer databases. I’m really trying to understand the problem since the droplet has superior value and performance, it shouldn’t be crashing.
