“Dynamic Page Generation†refers to the process of creating web pages in real-time, typically in response to user requests, using server-side scripts such as PHP, Python, or Node.js. Unlike static pages (which are fixed HTML files), dynamic pages are generated on-the-fly and often pull content from databases.
