If you have an HTML website, in all probability it uses a small amount of resources simply because it's static, but this is not the situation with dynamic database-driven sites that use PHP scripts and offer far more functions. Such sites generate load on the web hosting server each time anyone browses them, simply because the server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the info requested by the visitor's Internet browser. A well known discussion board, for instance, stores all usernames and posts inside a database, so some load is created every single time a thread is opened or an end user looks for a specific name. If lots of people access the forum concurrently, or if every single search involves checking tens of thousands of database entries, this can generate high load and affect the performance of the site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load statistics can give you information about the site’s functionality, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic data to decide if the site must be optimized or transferred to a different sort of web hosting platform that will be able to bear the high system load in case the Internet site is really popular.
