If you have an HTML site, most likely it uses a really small amount of system resources simply because it is static, but this is not so with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and provide you with far more functions. This type of websites create load on the hosting server when somebody browses them, as the hosting server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the content requested by the visitor's web browser. A famous discussion board, for instance, stores all usernames and posts inside a database, so some load is generated each time a thread is opened or a user looks for a given word. If many people connect to the forum simultaneously, or if each search involves checking thousands of database entries, this can create high load and affect the efficiency of the site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load stats can provide you with data about the site’s efficiency, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats to determine if the site needs to be optimized or moved to another type of hosting platform that'll be able to bear the high system load in the event that the site is popular.
