Chifeng SEO training: the difference between static, dynamic and pseudo-static pages

When companies are preparing to build a website, they will encounter a problem: whether the URL link should be static, dynamic or pseudo-static. However, if you want to decide which one to use, you must first know the differences, advantages and disadvantages between them, and then judge according to your own needs. So what are the differences between static, dynamic and pseudo-static? Below, Dongguan SEO editor Feng Chao will give a detailed introduction.

Chifeng SEO training: the difference between static, dynamic and pseudo-static pages

1. Static pages

Advantages: Compared with the other two types of pages (dynamic pages and pseudo-static pages), it has the fastest access speed and does not require data to be extracted from the database during access. Not only is the access speed fast, but it also does not put pressure on the server.

Disadvantages: Since the data is stored in HTML, the file data is very large. What's more serious is that if changes are required, all source codes must be changed, and you can't just change one place and then automatically change the static pages of the entire site. If it is a large website, there will be more data, which will take up a lot of server space resources, and each time content is added, a new static page will be generated. It is more troublesome to maintain than dynamic and pseudo-static.

2. Dynamic pages

Advantages: The space usage is very small. Generally, for websites with tens of thousands of data, dynamic web page database technology is the basis, which can greatly reduce the workload of website maintenance; using dynamic pages, the file size may be only a few MB. Because the data is called from the database, if you need to modify a specific value, just change the database, and all dynamic web pages will be automatically updated.

Disadvantages: User access speed is slow, and the data of dynamic pages are called from the database. If there are a large number of visitors, the database will be under great pressure. However, most of the current dynamic programs use caching technology. But generally speaking, dynamic pages put more pressure on the server. At the same time, websites with dynamic pages generally have higher requirements for the server. The more people visit at the same time, the greater the pressure on the server.

3. Pseudo-static pages

Pseudo-static page definition: A "fake" static page that is actually a dynamic page.

Advantages: Compared with static pages, there is no obvious improvement in speed, because it is a "fake" static page, which is actually a dynamic page and also needs to be translated into a static page. The biggest advantage is that it allows search engines to treat your web pages as static pages.

Disadvantages: Search engines will not treat it as a static page. This is just our analysis based on experience and logic, and it may not be accurate. Maybe the search engine directly considers it as a dynamic page.

In general, there is no essential difference between using pure static and pseudo-static for SEO optimization. However, using pseudo-static will occupy a certain amount of CPU usage, and heavy use will cause CPU overload.
