The CPU load depends on the time period a web server spends executing a script each time a visitor opens a webpage on a certain script-driven site. Static HTML websites use barely any CPU time, but this is not the situation with the much more complex and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more customers open this type of a site, the more load will be generated on the hosting server and if the database is big, the MySQL server will be loaded too. An illustration of what could cause high load is an Internet store with thousands of products. If it's popular, many people will be visiting it all at once and if they look for items, the whole database containing all the products will also be constantly accessed by the script, which will result in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load statistics can provide an idea of how the website is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you just need a more powerful website hosting solution - if the site is popular and the existing setup cannot handle the load.

Statistics are automatically produced every six hours and you may also see the different types of processes that generated the most load - PHP, Perl, and so forth. MySQL load data are listed within a different section in which you are able to see all the queries on a per hour, day-to-day, and so on. basis.
