If you have an HTML site, most likely it uses a really small amount of resources simply because it's static, but this isn't the case with dynamic database-driven sites that use PHP scripts and offer you considerably more features. This sort of sites create load on the hosting server when anyone browses them, as the hosting server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to provide the content requested by the visitor's browser. A well known discussion board, for instance, stores all usernames and posts within a database, so some load is created any time a thread is opened or a user searches for a specific phrase. If lots of people connect to the forum concurrently, or if each and every search involves checking hundreds of thousands of database entries, this may generate high load and affect the performance of the site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load stats can provide you with information about the site’s functionality, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic data and see if the website must be optimized or transferred to another type of web hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load in case the site is very popular.
