LVE Limits Explained

LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environment) creates isolated environments for each user on the server, ensuring that every account receives a dedicated allocation of resources and security features. This isolation guarantees that users' data remains secure, and prevents resource contention—such as SSD speed, RAM, or CPU—between accounts.

CPU Cores

The CPU, a critical hardware component, processes data through its cores. Here are some tips to optimize CPU usage:

• Keep Your Site Updated: Regularly update your site to remove unnecessary data and optimize performance.

• Use a CDN: Enable a Content Delivery Network (CDN) through your cPanel. This offloads the delivery of your website’s data, reducing server strain.

• Cache Content: Serving cached content minimizes the load on CPU cores.

Tip: A well-optimized site can significantly enhance user experience by reducing loading times.

Memory (RAM)

RAM temporarily stores data needed for tasks. It's influenced by user activity and MySQL queries. For optimal RAM usage:

• Optimize Your Site: Ensure that themes, plugins, and your CMS are updated. Remove unnecessary plugins to reduce memory consumption.

• Manage Cron Tasks: Disable automatic Cron tasks from running on their own. Set them to run at specific intervals in the Cron Jobs tab of cPanel.

• Implement Caching: Use a caching plugin to serve cached content, reducing the memory load from repeated visits.

Suggestion: Regular maintenance of your site can lead to better performance and resource management.

Entry Processes

Entry processes include SSH sessions, PHP pages accessed by users, and Cron jobs. These processes are handled swiftly by the CPU based on the type of request made.

IO and IOPS

• IO (Input/Output): Measured in MB per second, it affects the size of data blocks read/written on your site.

• IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second): This metric indicates the number of read/write operations. Proper optimization of other limits will typically prevent issues with IO and IOPS.

Keeping your hosting environment optimized can greatly reduce the likelihood of performance issues related to IO and IOPS.

Number of Inodes

Inodes represent storage spaces used for every file and folder in your hosting account. Managing your inodes effectively helps maintain organized and efficient storage.

CageFS Security

CageFS, a feature of CloudLinux, defines the LVE limits for each account, preventing interference between accounts. Note that this feature does not apply to MySQL, as it is shared across all accounts. Despite this, resources remain maintained and separated for each cPanel account.

Important: While CageFS provides security for user accounts, it's essential to monitor MySQL usage as it is not isolated.
