The CPU load is dependent upon the time period a web server spends executing a script whenever a visitor opens a webpage on a certain script-driven Internet site. Static HTML sites use barely any CPU time, but this is not the case with the much more sophisticated and functional scripts, which use a database and display dynamic content. The more individuals open this kind of a website, the more load shall be produced on the hosting server and if the database is very large, the MySQL server will be loaded also. A good example of what could cause high load is an Internet store with thousands of products. If it is popular, a lot of people shall be visiting it at the same time and if they search for items, the whole database which contains all the products shall also be continuously accessed by the script, resulting in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load statistics will provide you with an idea of how the website is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you just need a more efficient web hosting solution - if the Internet site is very popular and the current setup cannot cope with the load.

MySQL load stats are listed within a separate section where you can see all the queries on an hourly, day-to-day, and so on. basis.
