The CPU load is dependent upon the time period a server spends executing a script each time a visitor opens a page on a particular script-driven website. Static HTML websites use barely any CPU time, but this is not the case with the much more sophisticated and functional scripts, that use a database and display dynamic content. The more people open this type of an Internet site, the more load shall be generated on the web server and if the database is big, the MySQL server will be loaded also. An example of what may cause high load is an online store with a large number of products. If it is popular, plenty of people will be browsing it simultaneously and if they look for items, the whole database which contains all the products shall also be constantly accessed by the script, resulting in high load. In this light, having CPU and MySQL load statistics will offer you an idea of how the Internet site is doing, if it has to be optimized or if you simply just need a more effective website hosting solution - if the Internet site is really popular and the existing setup cannot deal with the load.

With both sorts of statistics, you are able to check the numbers for each of the past days and months, so you could see how the sites perform as the traffic to them increases or after you have applied some update.
