Web Technology Improving the User's Experience on ASP Built Sites A Whitepaper on XBuilder Content is king on the Internet. You hear that time and again. Good content attracts visitors who frequently return to sites that are interesting, relevant and entertaining. As content migrates to the web, developers have adopted Active Server Page technology, along with other dynamic site designs, because it is an efficient way to manage and deliver a growing content base to web site visitors. The dynamic database publishing system allows developers to grow a site quickly, by adding content to the database and associating it with a topic.
More time is spent writing content and less formatting it.
However, dynamically generated web site publishing is not a perfect world. The dynamic driven database system behind many sites is very slow. The speed problem stems from the fact that every time a reader requests a page, that page is generated from a query to the database and must be executed. A page which must be built from a database query takes considerably longer to download than a static HTML page which is simply read from disk. On many publishing sites, however, the content doesn't usually change per reader, in fact some pages remain unchanged for months at a time.
