Difference Between Static and Dynamic URL

[Rina Tanwar]

Can any one explain me,What is the difference between static and dynamic url?

When you look at the URL there is no physical difference. The difference is on the server.
A static URL is pointing to a file or a page that was already created. A dynamic URL generally references a page that is generated based on what you enter. The most common example is a search page. It never existed before you searched for it.
Sometimes this is via a query string. Sometimes it is via a rest API.

A static URL is one in which the content of the web page remains the same as long as the changes are not hard coded within the HTML.

dynamic URL is one which is a result of a search within a website driven by a database running on some script

Dynamic URL
URLs that contain "?" are called dynamic URLs. It's dynamic because the page is normally generated by using data from a database. The part after "?" is database row identifier which is used to retrieved the specified data from one or more database tables. Dynamic web page gives us the advantage of reusing a web page for different data when we issue a different ID to it.The dynamic URL is not user and web page friendly.


Static URL
When "?" character is used, the page's full URL changes when values after "?" change.
The portion after "?" is called the page's query string parameter(s), or simply query parameter(s).
Every time when parameter(s) changes, the resulted page will be different.
A page URL can contain more than one "?" character. When this happens, search engine spiders will have difficult time to index the resulted page. Its easy to crawl by google bot.

Static URL presents web pages that can always remain as is. Dynamic URLs guide to dynamic web pages that can experience changes according to database change.

URLs are classified into two types: static and dynamic.

A static URL is one in which the content of the web page remains the same as long as the changes are not hard coded within the HTML.

On the other hand, a dynamic URL is one which is a result of a search within a website driven by a database running on some script.

A static site is one that is usually written in plain HTML and what is in the code of the page is what is displayed to the user. A dynamic site is one that is written using a server-side scripting language such as PHP, ASP, JSP, or Coldfusion.
