Every time a visitor opens your website, the browser sends a request to the hosting server, which in turn executes it and provides the desired data as a response. A simple HTML site uses minimum system resources for the reason that it's static, but database-driven platforms are more demanding and use much more processing time. Every webpage that's served creates two forms of load - CPU load, which depends on the time the server spends executing a specific script; and MySQL load, which depends on the number of database queries created by the script while the customer browses the website. Higher load will be created if loads of people look through a certain Internet site simultaneously or if numerous database calls are made concurrently. Two good examples are a discussion board with a huge number of users or an online store in which a client enters a term inside a search box and tens of thousands of items are searched. Having thorough statistics about the load your website generates will allow you to optimize the content or see if it's time for you to switch to a more powerful type of hosting service, if the site is simply getting extremely popular.
