If you have an HTML website, it likely uses a really small amount of system resources due to the fact that it's static, but this is not the situation with dynamic database-driven websites that use PHP scripts and offer way more functions. This type of Internet sites generate load on the hosting server every time anyone browses them, simply because the hosting server needs time to execute the script, to access the database and then to deliver the data requested by the visitor's web browser. A widely used discussion board, as an illustration, stores all usernames and posts inside a database, so some load is created each time a thread is opened or an end user looks for a certain phrase. If many people access the forum all at once, or if each and every search involves checking thousands of database entries, this can generate high load and affect the functionality of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load data can give you data about the site’s overall performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats to decide if the website should be optimized or migrated to a new type of web hosting platform that'll be able to bear the high system load if the site is extremely popular.

The MySQL load data section will show you the amount of queries to each individual database that you have created within your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account as a whole and the standard hourly rate.

The MySQL statistics shall show you how often every single database was accessed, and also day-to-day and by the hour data for the entire account. With both types of stats, you can check the numbers for each of the past days and months, so you can easily see how sites perform as the traffic to them grows or after you have applied some update.
