The CPU load depends on the time a web server spends executing a script when a visitor opens a webpage on a given script-driven website. Static HTML websites use hardly any CPU time, but this isn't the case with the far more sophisticated and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more clients open this type of a website, the more load will be created on the hosting server and if the database is big, the MySQL server shall be loaded also. An illustration of what can cause high load is a web-based store with a large number of products. If it's popular, plenty of people will be visiting it all at once and if they look for items, the entire database containing all the products shall also be constantly 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 Internet site is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you simply just need a more efficient website hosting solution - if the website is extremely popular and the established setup can't cope with the load.
