CMS Dilema

On the fly intangible page VS tangible

[henry0]

My CMS built pages that are loaded in their corresponding dir
And that are correctly optimized.

I am thinking that I could replace the physical page with a function that will on the fly built the page, stick it in a class with the query etc...
So if the page link is clicked the process starts and the page exists as long as it is either viewed or cached.

But will, a SE that basically follows links, be able to read its content and indexed it since the page will not be “printed” to the browser.

I cannot make my mind!

It's really too bad that we are pretty much doomed to work while keeping SE feelings in control!

why would you change it henry0?

I don't really like the created on the fly approach, but that's just me.

I always go with

if it ain't broke don't fix it

Well, probably portability and size
As is it does fine.
But I might , for a client, need to make it real big and allow hundreds of client's clients to build their own "mini site".
which might make the site a few thousand pages big.
on another hand it should be easier to maintain with the actual version and might be faster too since it will require less calls to PHP and MySQL
as such you are correct. I had the wrong idea.

You know what's Sir Hillary answered after making it to the top of the world when asked why he was climbing mountains?
He said somethink like "Because they are there!"

So perhaps I wanted to see how it could work :)
