The CPU load depends on the length of time a web server spends executing a script when a visitor opens a webpage on a given script-driven Internet site. Static HTML Internet sites use hardly any CPU time, but this is not the case with the much more sophisticated and functional scripts, which use a database and display dynamic content. The more individuals open this type of a website, the more load will be created on the web server and if the database is large, the MySQL server shall be loaded too. An example of what could cause high load is an online store with thousands of products. If it is popular, plenty of people will be visiting it at the same time and if they look for items, the entire database which contains all the products will also be continuously accessed by the script, which will result in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load stats can provide an idea of how the website is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you simply just need a more powerful hosting solution - if the Internet site is extremely popular and the current setup cannot cope with the load.
