I checked around a bit (not too hard), but couldn’t find a Wordpress plugin to let you easily display / monitor the loads on your server. A high load means your website could be slow to load for users, causing them to click away from your site. I’m currently using it on this site to just check on how loads are doing from time to time.
You can display the load stats in combination with Wordpress’ inbuilt page execution time and query number:
Execution: <?php timer_stop(1); ?>s |
Load: <?php echo server_load(); ?> |
Queries: <?php echo $wpdb->num_queries; ?> calls
The plugin function used is generic, and so can be put into any php script:

[...] 2.) Monitor your Stats - by default, wordpress includes the ability to display the number of database calls made per page, and the page execution time. I haven’t seen it able to monitor server loads (how hard the server is working), so I put together a quick plugin to add this ability, along with the full monitoring display code.

Nice, maybe you can help out on a more complicated server load plugin then? I have a lot of plugins, and although I know each of them put a load on the server and increase the waiting, I simply cant see which of them I should let go.
Now, if there was a plugin that could display loadtime for each plugin/cycle….. then I could easily see which plugin took up the most amount of time…. Can that be easily made into a plugin?
