The CPU load depends on the time a server spends executing a script when a visitor opens a page on a specific script-driven website. Static HTML websites use barely any CPU time, but this is not the case with the far more complex and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more clients open this type of a website, the more load shall be generated on the web server and if the database is very large, the MySQL server will be loaded also. An example of what could cause high load is an online store with a huge number of products. If it is popular, lots of people will be visiting it all at once and if they seek out items, the entire database which contains all the products will also be continuously accessed by the script, which will result in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load stats will offer you an idea of how the website is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you simply need a more efficient hosting solution - if the website is very popular and the established setup cannot cope with the load.
