What is the difference between static and dynamic routing in Nuxt.js on Hostinger?
Static routing in Nuxt.js is used for generating and serving static HTML files for every page of the website at build time. This means that when the website is accessed, the content is already pre-rendered and served as static files. It is suitable for websites where the content doesn't change frequently and doesn't require real-time data. Static routing improves performance and eliminates the need for server-side rendering on each request.
On the other hand, dynamic routing in Nuxt.js is used when the website requires server-side rendering (SSR) or has dynamic content that needs to be rendered on each request. Dynamic routing allows generating HTML on the server for each page depending on the incoming request and its parameters. This is useful for websites that have real-time data, personalized content, or require frequent updates.
Hostinger is a web hosting service provider, and the choice between static and dynamic routing in Nuxt.js primarily depends on the requirements of your website. If your website has relatively static content and doesn't require real-time updates, static routing can be more suitable as it optimizes performance. However, if your website has dynamic content or requires server-side rendering, dynamic routing is the way to go. Hostinger can support both static and dynamic routing based on your needs.
