*** Dynamic pages allow you to create a single template that automatically generates multiple pages by pulling data from a database or content management system (CMS). This is highly efficient for websites with large amounts of content, like blogs or product listings, as it reduces the need to manually create each page. Benefits include consistency across pages, easier updates, and scalability. It also ensures each page can be SEO-optimized with unique metadata, improving overall site performance in search engines.
