The CPU load depends on the time a web server spends executing a script whenever a visitor opens a page on a certain script-driven Internet site. Static HTML sites use barely any CPU time, but it is not the situation with the significantly more advanced and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more customers open this kind of an Internet site, the more load will be produced on the web server and if the database is large, the MySQL server shall be loaded too. An illustration of what could cause high load is an Internet store with a huge number of products. If it is popular, many people will be visiting it all at once and if they look for items, the entire database that contains all of the products will also be continuously accessed by the script, resulting in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load stats will provide you with an idea of how the site is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you simply just need a more efficient web hosting solution - if the website is very popular and the current setup can't cope with the load.
