If you have an HTML website, in all probability it uses a small amount of system resources due to the fact that it's static, but this isn't so with dynamic database-driven Internet sites that use PHP scripts and provide much more capabilities. This kind of Internet sites produce load on the web hosting server each and every time somebody browses them, as the hosting server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the data 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 generated any time a thread is opened or an end user searches for a certain word. If lots of people access the forum all at once, or if every search involves checking tens of thousands of database entries, this can produce high load and affect the overall performance of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can provide information about the site’s functionality, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats to determine if the Internet site should be optimized or moved to a different type of hosting platform that'll be able to bear the high system load in the event that the Internet site is very popular.
