Does the website produce static or dynamic content?

What is a static website?

A static website refers to a website whose content is not modified after being published, and the same content is presented to users every time a request is made. These websites are typically composed of static files such as HTML, CSs, JavaScript, etc., and do not require dynamic content generation or database connections. Therefore, they are faster, more secure, and easier to maintain than dynamic websites, but they also lack the interactivity and personalized experience provided by dynamic websites. Common static websites include blogs, company homepages, product introduction pages, etc.

Characteristics of Static Websites

(1) Static web pages have a fixed URL for each webpage, and the webpage URL is suffixed with common forms such as. html,. html,. shtml, etc., without the suffix "?";

(2) Once the webpage content is published to the website server, regardless of whether there is user access, the content of each static webpage is saved on the website server. In other words, static webpages are files that are actually saved on the server, and each webpage is an independent file;

(3) The content of static web pages is relatively stable, making them easy to be retrieved by search engines;

(4) Static web pages do not have database support and require a large amount of work in website production and maintenance. Therefore, it is difficult to rely solely on static web page production when the website contains a large amount of information;

(5) Static web pages have poor interactivity and significant limitations in terms of functionality

What is a dynamic website?

Dynamic websites do not refer to websites with animation functions, but rather websites whose content can be dynamically changed according to different situations. Generally, dynamic websites are structured through databases. In addition to designing web pages, dynamic websites also need to use databases and programming to give the website more automated and advanced features. Dynamic websites are typically represented by technologies such as ASP, JSP, PHP, ASPX, etc., while static web pages typically end with HTML (a subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language). The server space configuration for dynamic websites is higher and the cost is correspondingly higher than that for static web pages. However, dynamic web pages are beneficial for updating website content and are suitable for enterprise website construction. Dynamic is relative to static websites.

Characteristics of dynamic websites

(1) Dynamic web pages are based on database technology, which can greatly reduce the workload of website maintenance;

(2) Websites using dynamic web technology can achieve more interactive functions, such as user registration, user login, online surveys, user management, order management, and so on;

(3) Dynamic web pages are not actually web files that exist independently on the server. The server only returns a complete web page when requested by the user;

(4) The "?" in dynamic web pages poses certain problems for search engine retrieval. Search engines generally cannot access all web pages from a website's database, or due to technical considerations, search spiders do not crawl the content after the "?" in the URL. Therefore, websites that use dynamic web pages need to undergo certain technical processing to adapt to the requirements of search engines when promoting them

How should we choose? This depends on our needs for the website. If we need more interaction with users and have sufficient budget, we can choose a dynamic website; If we only need to quickly display and browse the website to users with limited budget, then we can choose a static website.

Do everyone have a choice in their hearts now? Only what suits oneself is the best choice!
