How to check server load average via SSH?

Yup, you can!!

The 'w' and 'cat /proc/loadaverage' gives static results.

root@Quantum-Computer:~$ w
11:32:59 up 1:27, 1 user, load average: 1.30, 0.66, 0.47
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
root :0 :0 10:07 ?xdm? 5:28 0.01s /usr/lib/gdm3/g
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@Quantum-Computer:~$ cat /proc/loadavg
1.05 0.65 0.47 2/1002 17905
root@Quantum-Computer:~$
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For dynamic and more informative results you can use 'top -c' .

root@Quantum-Computer:~$ top -c
top - 11:50:26 up 1:44, 1 user, load average: 0.77, 0.63, 0.65
Tasks: 290 total, 2 running, 235 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
