Cron and site load?

Question

Task Schedulers

Hi everyone, newbie question. The site has a section with exchange rates, the data is updated by cron in real time (* * * * * wget -q -O - http://website/cronjob/info >/dev/null 2>&1)
Now it has started loading hosting 100% and apparently it's time to move out to vds.
The question is, does the load depend on the number of users? For example, 100 people will have 100 pages open at the same time, will the load on crowns be higher? Or does it not matter and is it automatically updated regardless of users?

Answer 1

If 100 people have 100 pages with exchange rates open at the same time, then naturally there will be a large load on the processor and RAM, if there are no other restrictions.
Also, running a cron job uses your server resources and will generate a load.
