Satic and Dynamic
A static web page is one that has been written once, like a word processing document, and then saved onto the web server. It’s like a file. Any changes to a static web page need to be made manually, and then saved again.
A dynamic web page is created on the fly. It doesn’t actually exist on the web server until a web browser requests it. When a request is made, web server runs whatever program will create the web page. That program creates the page dynamically and returns it to the web server, which then passes it along to the web browser.
