Why Static Websites Are Faster Than Dynamic Websites?
Nikolai Razouvayev
If you’re a small business owner who’s considering a website, you’ve probably heard terms like “static” and “dynamic” websites thrown around.
But what do these terms mean and why does it matter to you?

They’re coded from the ground up, tailored to your needs, and they don’t rely on complex databases or functionalities. The result? Lightning-fast load times.
