The Two Types of Web Pages

Static versus Dynamic

Introduction

HTML helps to distinguish web pages. A webpage can be static or dynamic. How does one determine that a page is static or dynamic, you may ask?

Static Pages

A static web page does not change and stays the same. Examples of static web pages are like the homepages of websites.

Dynamic Pages

A dynamic web page is constantly changing and caters to you personally. An example is entering a website and it welcomes you and personalizes according to your interests.

Static versus Dynamic Pages

A static web page is faster in performance compared to a dynamic web page. That reason is due to caching codes. Because the codes do not change, one can cache the codes into a memory like a hard drive. However, the only downfall with this strategy is that it takes up the memory.

A dynamic web page’s performance is not as fast as static because caching codes cannot apply due to its rapidly changing codes.
