If you have an HTML website, it likely uses a small amount of resources because it's static, but this isn't the situation with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and offer you much more features. Such sites produce load on the web hosting server every time anyone browses them, as the hosting server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to provide the information requested by the visitor's Internet browser. A well known discussion board, as an illustration, stores all usernames and posts inside a database, so some load is created every time a thread is opened or an end user searches for a given phrase. If lots of people access the forum simultaneously, or if each and every search involves checking a large number of database entries, this may produce high load and affect the functionality of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can give you info about the site’s efficiency, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats and see if the site needs to be optimized or moved to a different kind of hosting platform that'll be able to bear the high system load if the Internet site is really popular.
