How to check website resource usage in cPanel

Resource usage helps you understand how your website is performing on the server. In cPanel, open Resource Usage, Metrics or similar performance tools. Review CPU, memory, entry processes and faults. Short spikes are normal during updates, backups or busy traffic periods. Repeated limits can mean a plugin, theme, script or bot traffic is using too many resources. Check recent changes, disable unnecessary plugins and keep software updated. For WordPress, caching can reduce load significantly. If your site regularly reaches limits, consider upgrading to a larger hosting plan or asking XL Hosts NL to review performance.
