If you have an HTML Internet site, it likely uses a very small amount of resources as it is static, but this is not the situation with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and provide you with considerably more functions. Such Internet sites generate load on the hosting server each and every time somebody browses them, simply because the server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to supply the information requested by the visitor's web browser. A widely used discussion board, as an illustration, stores all usernames and posts within a database, so some load is generated every single time a thread is opened or a user looks for a given word. If a lot of people access the forum simultaneously, or if each and every search involves checking a large number of database entries, this can produce high load and affect the functionality of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can provide you with information about the site’s performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic data and see if the Internet site should be optimized or moved to a new kind of hosting platform that will be able to bear the high system load if the site is really popular.
