-Before starting optimization It is better to monitor your server performance before starting optimization and after to see how things are changing, if it becomes better or worth. I suggest to install "[http://munin-monitoring.org/ Munin]" server monitor, it is available as WHM plugin, you can install it from WHM panel -> cPanel -> Manage Plugins -> click "Install and Keep Updated" near Munin logo and press "Save" button at the bottom of the page. After installing link to Munin appears in "Plugins" section of WHM panel, please allow up to 10 minutes until it generates pages with graphs for you.
