Whenever a visitor opens your site, the Internet browser sends a request to the server, which in turn executes it and provides the required data as a response. A simple HTML website uses minimum system resources for the reason that it is static, but database-driven platforms are more demanding and use a lot more processing time. Each and every page that's served creates two kinds of load - CPU load, which depends on the amount of time the web server spends executing a particular script; and MySQL load, that depends on the number of database queries produced by the script while the user browses the site. Greater load shall be produced if a considerable amount of people surf a particular Internet site at the same time or if numerous database calls are made simultaneously. Two good examples are a discussion board with many users or an online store where a client enters a term within a search box and tens of thousands of items are searched. Having detailed statistics about the load that your Internet site generates will help you boost the content or see if it's the perfect time to switch to a more powerful sort of website hosting service, if the Internet site is simply getting quite popular.
