Static and dynamic content

Also, pages may have static content, such as your About us, Contact Us, and Privacy Policy pages, or they can also display dynamic content, which changes what is shown to the user depending on several factors.

For example, if you own an e-commerce store, an “Our Products” page will display a list of products you currently have in stock, which may change from day to day, or from week to week.

These variables are called dynamic content, in opposition to static content, which never changes – unless you change them manually.

Another clear example of a dynamic content page is the “My Profile” page, present on many sites. This page has to display content based on the currently logged-in user. Content such as the user’s photo, name, email, and so on.
