If you have an HTML site, it likely uses a small amount of system resources simply because it is static, but that isn't the situation with dynamic database-driven sites that use PHP scripts and offer considerably more features. This type of websites create load on the website hosting server each time anyone browses them, due to the fact that the web server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to provide the data requested by the visitor's Internet browser. A well known discussion board, for example, stores all usernames and posts in a database, so some load is created every time a thread is opened or a user searches for a particular phrase. If a lot of people connect to the forum concurrently, or if each search involves checking hundreds of thousands of database entries, this may produce high load and affect the overall performance of the Internet site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load stats can provide you with info about the site’s functionality, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic data and see if the Internet site has to be optimized or migrated to a different kind of web hosting platform that will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the site is very popular.
