TECHNOLOGY STACK

A web page that is delivered to the user exactly as

stored, in contrast to dynamic web pages which are

generated by a web application.

Static web pages are suitable for content that never or

rarely needs to be updated. However, maintaining large

numbers of static pages as files can be impractical

without automated tools.

Any personalization or interactivity has to be run client

side.
