Checking Your VPS CPU/RAM Usage

Getting Started

Checking your VPS CPU and RAM usage is important because it shows you how much computing power is remaining on your VPS. When your CPU or RAM usage is high it is a sign that you are running out of power on your current VPS plan, and an upgrade to a more powerful plan might be needed.

Monitoring your system resources regularly helps ensure optimal trading performance and prevents system slowdowns that could affect your trading activities. This guide will show you how to access the built-in Windows Task Manager to monitor your VPS performance.

When to Consider an Upgrade

If you see that your CPU or RAM usage is reaching 100% for long periods of time, it is an indication that your current VPS plan is not powerful enough to keep up with the software you are running on your VPS.

Resource Usage Guidelines

• Normal Usage: CPU and RAM usage below 70% most of the time
• Moderate Usage: 70-90% usage during peak trading periods
• High Usage: Consistently above 90% – consider upgrading
• Critical Usage: Sustained 100% usage – immediate action required
