Each time a visitor opens your website, the browser sends a request to the hosting server, which in turn executes it and gives the necessary data as a response. A simple HTML site uses very little system resources as it's static, but database-driven platforms are more requiring and use a lot more processing time. Each webpage which is served generates 2 forms of load - CPU load, that depends on the time the web server spends executing a specific script; and MySQL load, which depends on the number of database queries generated by the script while the end user browses the site. Bigger load shall be generated if a lot of people browse a particular website all at once or if a considerable amount of database calls are made concurrently. Two 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 thousands of items are searched. Having in depth statistics about the load which your website generates will enable you to improve the content or see if it is the perfect time to switch to a more powerful kind of web hosting service, if the site is simply getting extremely popular.
