If you have an HTML site, most likely it uses a very small amount of system resources as it's static, but that isn't so with dynamic database-driven sites that use PHP scripts and offer much more capabilities. Such Internet sites produce load on the hosting server each time somebody browses them, simply because the web server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the info requested by the visitor's browser. A well known discussion board, for instance, stores all usernames and posts within a database, so some load is generated each time a thread is opened or an end user searches for a certain term. If a lot of people connect to the forum at the same time, or if every single search involves checking hundreds of thousands of database entries, this could produce high load and affect the performance of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load stats can provide info about the site’s overall performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats to determine if the website has to be optimized or transferred to another type of web hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load in case the site is really popular.
