What is Dynamic URL?
Understanding Dynamic URL in E-commerce
Quick Definition
Dynamic URLs are web addresses that are generated on-the-fly based on specific parameters, user interactions, or database content. Unlike static URLs, they can change dynamically and often contain query strings or unique identifiers that help track user sessions, filter content, or personalize web experiences.

What Makes URLs Dynamic?
- •Query Parameters: Additional information after '?' in the URL (e.g., example.com/products?category=shoes&color=blue)
- •Session Tracking: Unique identifiers that change based on user interactions
- •Personalization: Content adapts based on user preferences, location, or behavior
