The CPU load is dependent upon the time a server spends executing a script any time a visitor opens a webpage on a particular script-driven Internet site. Static HTML Internet sites use barely any CPU time, but this is not the situation with the considerably more sophisticated and functional scripts, which use a database and display dynamic content. The more clients open such a site, the more load shall be generated on the web server and if the database is large, the MySQL server will be loaded also. An illustration of what can cause high load is a web-based store with thousands of products. If it's popular, many people will be visiting it at the same time and if they look for items, the whole database containing all of the products will also be constantly accessed by the script, which will result in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load data will provide you with an idea of how the site is doing, if it needs to be optimized or if you simply just need a more powerful web hosting solution - if the Internet site is very popular and the established setup can't deal with the load.
