If you have an HTML site, it likely uses a very 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 a lot more functions. This kind of websites produce load on the web hosting server when anyone browses them, simply because the server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the information requested by the visitor's web browser. A well-known discussion board, for example, stores all usernames and posts inside a database, so some load is created each time a thread is opened or a user looks for a specific term. If lots of people connect to the forum concurrently, or if every search involves checking thousands of database entries, this could generate high load and affect the overall performance of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load statistics can give you info about the site’s functionality, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats to decide if the Internet site should be optimized or transferred to a new sort of web hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the website is really popular.
