If you have an HTML site, most likely it uses a small amount of resources as it is static, but this isn't the situation with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and provide you with a lot more functions. This type of websites generate load on the hosting server when anyone browses them, since the hosting server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to provide the data requested by the visitor's Internet browser. A famous discussion board, for example, stores all usernames and posts within a database, so some load is created every time a thread is opened or an end user searches for a given term. If lots of people access the forum at the same time, or if every single search involves checking tens of thousands of database entries, this can create high load and affect the performance of the site. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can present you with information about the site’s performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats to decide if the Internet site needs to be optimized or moved to another sort of website hosting platform that will be able to bear the high system load if the website is very popular.

The MySQL statistics shall show you how frequently each database was accessed, as well as everyday and hourly stats for the whole account. With both kinds of stats, you'll be able to check the numbers for every one of the past days and months, so you can see how sites perform as the traffic to them increases or once you've applied some update.
