If you have an HTML site, it likely uses a really small amount of resources because it is static, but this isn't the case with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and provide you with much more capabilities. This kind of websites generate load on the web hosting server each time somebody browses them, simply because the web server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to provide the info requested by the visitor's Internet browser. A famous discussion board, for example, stores all usernames and posts within a database, so some load is generated every single time a thread is opened or an end user searches for a specific name. If many people access the forum simultaneously, or if each and every search involves checking hundreds of thousands of database entries, this could produce high load and affect the overall performance of the site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can present you with data about the site’s efficiency, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic data and see if the site must be optimized or migrated to a new kind of hosting platform that'll be able to bear the high system load in case the site is really popular.
