Each time a visitor opens your website, the Internet browser sends a request to the hosting server, which in turn executes it and gives the required data as a response. A standard HTML website uses minimal system resources as it's static, but database-driven platforms are more requiring and use much more processing time. Every webpage that is served generates 2 sorts of load - CPU load, which depends on the span of time the hosting server spends executing a specific script; and MySQL load, that depends on the number of database queries generated by the script while the client browses the site. Larger load will be generated if many people browse a certain website at the same time or if many database calls are made concurrently. 2 good examples are a discussion board with a large number of users or an online store where a visitor enters a term in a search box and tens of thousands of items are searched. Having comprehensive stats about the load your website generates can help you optimize the content or see if it's time to switch to a more powerful type of website hosting service, if the site is simply getting very popular.
