When a visitor opens your website, the browser sends a request to the web server, which in turn executes it and supplies the required data as a response. A standard HTML website uses minimum resources as it's static, but database-driven platforms are more requiring and use a lot more processing time. Every page that's served creates two forms of load - CPU load, that depends on the amount of time the hosting server spends executing a specific script; and MySQL load, which depends on the amount of database queries created by the script while the customer browses the site. Bigger load shall be produced if a lot of people look through 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 in which a customer enters a term in a search box and tens of thousands of items are searched. Having comprehensive data about the load that your website generates can help you optimize the content or see if it is the perfect time to switch to a more powerful kind of web hosting service, if the Internet site is simply getting really popular.
