If you have an HTML site, in all probability it uses a small amount of system resources as it is static, but that isn't the situation with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and provide much more features. This sort of sites create load on the hosting server each time somebody browses them, since the hosting 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, as an illustration, stores all usernames and posts in a database, so some load is generated every time a thread is opened or a user looks for a certain phrase. If lots of people connect to 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 Internet site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load stats can provide you with data about the site’s functionality, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic statistics to determine if the site has to be optimized or moved to a new type of hosting platform that'll be able to bear the high system load in case the Internet site is extremely popular.
