If you have an HTML website, it likely uses a small amount of resources because it's static, but this is not so with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and offer you far more capabilities. Such websites generate load on the web hosting server each time anyone browses them, as the hosting server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the data requested by the visitor's web browser. A famous discussion board, for example, stores all usernames and posts within a database, so some load is generated any time a thread is opened or a user looks for a given term. If many people access the forum simultaneously, or if every search involves checking a large number of database entries, this can generate high load and affect the performance of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load statistics can provide you with information about the site’s functionality, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic statistics and see if the website has to be optimized or transferred to a new type of web hosting platform that will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the site is popular.
