A performance-audit probe for VPS and public cloud. High-frequency CPU steal sampling, disk cache fraud exposure, hardware-generation pricing checks — plus exportable FinOps reports.
YABS and sysbench give scores. CloudWorth finds overselling, noisy neighbors, and hard evidence of fake specs.
VPS lag often means host overcommit. Microsecond sampling captures steal cliffs, quantifies neighbor contention, and produces technical evidence for support claims.
Blazing for a few seconds, then a cliff? Exposes RAM-cache dressed as NVMe and reveals true sustained throughput and IOPS.
Paying full price for a CPU discontinued years ago? Sees through the virtualization layer to identify the physical chip generation, exposing the quiet downgrade of aged hardware sold at new-gen prices.
Export a timestamped professional PDF with an audit summary in seconds, plus a ready-to-use support-ticket template — leaving vendor tech support no room to dodge, so you can claim credits or a swap.
Download sample reportStop over-provisioning blindly. A value score based on real compute output recommends equal-or-better, cheaper configs — saving businesses and individuals serious cloud budget every year.
No complex setup or third-party dependencies — a minimal executable runs out of the box. It finishes the audit in milliseconds, then cleans up automatically; never resident, zero intrusion on your server workloads.

Quick answers on steal time, VPS overselling, and disk fraud — how to measure, judge, and act.
Steal time (st / %steal in top or mpstat) is the share of time your VM was ready but the hypervisor scheduled other tenants on the physical CPU. Sustained highs (often >5–10%) usually mean overcommit or noisy neighbors — the core signal for overselling detection.
Watch st with top, vmstat, or mpstat at peak hours, then add disk fio and sustained stress tests. CloudWorth packs steal time, disk-cache fraud, hardware generation, and price collision into one probe and builds an audit report in ~10 seconds.
YABS and sysbench emphasize benchmark scores. CloudWorth emphasizes evidence and FinOps: quantify steal time, expose disk fraud, spot aged-hardware premiums, and export complaint-ticket PDFs plus downsizing guidance.
Linux (x86_64/ARM64) and Windows Server, including AWS, GCP, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and common VPS hosts. The probe is a zero-dependency single binary — runs, reports, cleans up; never resident.
