If you have an HTML Internet site, in all probability it uses a small amount of resources as it's static, but this is not the situation with dynamic database-driven sites that use PHP scripts and provide way more capabilities. This type of Internet sites generate load on the hosting server anytime someone browses them, due to the fact that the server needs 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 instance, stores all usernames and posts inside a database, so some load is generated every time a thread is opened or an end user looks for a specific name. If a lot of people access the forum simultaneously, or if every single search involves checking a large number of database entries, this could produce high load and affect the efficiency of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load statistics can present you with data about the site’s overall performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats to decide if the site should be optimized or moved to a new type of hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the site is extremely popular.
