CPU
Abbreviation for Central Processing Unit
In short and in plain language
The CPU is the main processor in a computer or server.
It carries out commands and does the sums.
How busy it is, is a key measure for a shop. This counts most when many requests come in at once.
If the values stay high for a long time, this can point to a bottleneck.
