Static Vs Dynamic Website

Website has its types too!

Static - “Jo Change na ho” and Dynamic - “Jo change ho”. Simple!

1. Static Website

• A static website is made up of fixed resources i.e fixed html, css and js files.
• No backend code is run whenever a user visits. Content changes only when you redeploy after changing files.
• It can be hosted on Github Pages, Netlify, Vercel(with SSG), etc.
• It is fast, secure (no server logic required), and low cost.
• Eg. Portfolio, blog, landing page

2. Dynamic Website

• A dynamic website generates content on the fly based on user input, authentication, database content, etc. Hence, different users may see different data.
• HTML is generated per request, often using templates. (Eg. when you build website using React Js)
• It needs a server and database.
• Slower than static (due to runtime processing).
• Eg. Facebook, Twitter, Dashboards
