Aweb page, orwebpage, is aWeb document that is accessed in aweb browser.[1] Awebsite typically consists of many web pageslinked together under a commondomain name. The term "web page" is therefore ametaphor of paper pages bound together into a book.
Each article on theWikipedia website is a distinct web page. TheURL is visible in the browser'saddress bar at the top.
Each web page is identified by a distinctUniform Resource Locator (URL). When the user inputs a URL into theirweb browser, the browser retrieves the necessary content from aweb server and thentransforms it into an interactive visual representation on the user's screen.[2]
If the userclicks ortaps alink, the browser repeats this process to load the new URL, which could be part of the current website or a different one. The browser hasfeatures, such as theaddress bar, that indicate which page is displayed.
From the perspective ofserver-side website deployment, there are two types of web pages:static anddynamic. Static pages are retrieved from the web server'sfile system without any modification,[6] while dynamic pages must be created by the serveron the fly, typically reading from adatabase to fill out atemplate, before being sent to the user's browser.[7] An example of a dynamic page is asearch engine results page.

The first pages on the World Wide Web were largely static and unchanged, delivering the same information about a particular topic to anyone who visited. In some cases, sites may evolve slightly over time but are still largely static, meaning that they only change when manually changed by their creators, not on a regular and automated basis.
