If you have an HTML website, in all probability it uses a small amount of system resources due to the fact that it is static, but that isn't the situation with dynamic database-driven sites that use PHP scripts and offer far more functions. This type of Internet sites generate load on the website hosting server each and every time anyone browses them, simply because the hosting server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the info 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 every single time a thread is opened or a user looks for a certain name. If many people access the forum simultaneously, or if every single search involves checking thousands of database entries, this may generate high load and affect the overall performance of the Internet site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can give you info about the site’s functionality, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic statistics to decide if the website must be optimized or transferred to another kind of hosting platform that will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the website is really popular.
