Static web page

A static web page, sometimes called a flat page or a stationary page, is a web page that is delivered to a web browser exactly as stored,[1] in contrast to dynamic web pages which are generated by a web application.[2]

Consequently, a static web page displays the same information for all users, from all contexts, subject to modern capabilities of a web server to negotiate content-type or language of the document where such versions are available and the server is configured to do so.[3] However, a webpage's JavaScript can introduce dynamic functionality which may make the static web page dynamic.
