Static vs Dynamic Web Sites

There are two different type of websites on the internet, they are static and dynamic.  Static Website A static website consists of a series of HTML files, each one representing a physical page of a website.

Hence, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure ( HTTPS), is a secure method of accessing or sending information across a web page.  All data sent over HTTPS is encrypted before it was sent, this prevents anyone from understanding that information if intercepted.  Because data is encrypted over HTTPS, it is slower than HTTP, which is why HTTPS is only used when requiring login information or with pages that contain sensitive information such as an online bank web page
