If you have an HTML Internet site, it likely uses a very small amount of system resources because it's static, but this isn't the case with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and offer a lot more features. This kind of sites generate load on the web hosting server each time somebody browses them, simply because the web server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the information 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 every time a thread is opened or an end user searches for a given term. If lots of people connect to the forum simultaneously, or if each search involves checking tens of thousands of database entries, this could generate high load and affect the performance of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load stats can provide info about the site’s overall performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats and see if the website has to be optimized or transferred to another kind of hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load if the website is extremely popular.
