If you have an HTML website, it likely uses a small amount of resources due to the fact that it is static, but that isn't so with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and provide you with a lot more functions. This sort of Internet sites produce load on the hosting server when somebody browses them, simply because the hosting server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the information requested by the visitor's browser. A widely used discussion board, for example, stores all usernames and posts in a database, so some load is generated every single time a thread is opened or an end user looks for a certain name. If a lot of people access the forum at the same time, or if every search involves checking hundreds of thousands of database entries, this may produce high load and affect the efficiency of the site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load statistics can present you with information about the site’s overall performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats to determine if the Internet site should be optimized or moved to a new sort of website hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load in the event that the site is very popular.
