If you have an HTML website, it probably uses a small amount of resources simply because it's static, but this isn't the case with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and provide you with a lot more capabilities. This type of sites produce load on the website hosting server each and every time somebody browses them, simply because the web server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the info requested by the visitor's web browser. A widely used discussion board, as an illustration, stores all usernames and posts in a database, so some load is generated each time a thread is opened or a user searches for a certain word. If many people connect to the forum simultaneously, or if each search involves checking a large number of database entries, this can create high load and affect the functionality of the Internet site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can provide you with data about the site’s overall performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic statistics to decide if the Internet site should be optimized or migrated to a new type of website hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the Internet site is very popular.
