When a visitor opens your Internet site, the web browser sends a request to the server, which executes it and provides the necessary content as a response. A standard HTML site uses minimum system resources because it is static, but database-driven platforms are more demanding and use far more processing time. Each page which is served produces 2 kinds of load - CPU load, which depends on the time period the web server spends executing a particular script; and MySQL load, that depends on the total number of database queries generated by the script while the user browses the website. Higher load shall be produced if a considerable amount of people surf a particular website concurrently or if numerous database calls are made all at once. Two good examples are a discussion board with a large number of users or an online store where a customer enters a term inside a search box and a large number of items are searched. Having comprehensive statistics about the load which your Internet site generates will enable you to optimize the content or see if it's time to switch to a more powerful kind of hosting service, if the site is simply getting very popular.
