I just checked the server status on my cpanel. It says the server load is 0.70 or sometimes 1.40 etc. What is the maximum value? I mean, its 1.40 out of 10 or?

HI,

1.0 means 100% of your maximum cpu speed.

If it's below 1.0, eg. 0.4 your computer has to work 40% of it's time and is idle 60%.

having loads over 1.0 means the processes have to wait for the cpu until they get computed.
