Hi,

I was wondering if this would work and if it's worthwile doing?

My site is php/mysql driven and is updated once every few days, sometimes more often. Would it make sense to parse the dynamic pages once a day and post/update to static .html pages which visitors would hit. My thinking is that since the page doesnt change that often this might be a good way to keep loads down, and quicken load times. Is there anything out there that does this and what would the process be called?

Thanks...

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, password1.

It really depends on how much server-side work your application is doing and how often. If the impact is low then I wouldn't worry about it. If you feel you need to generate static pages from your dynamic content when it is updated, you could do that as well. Here are a few more discussions [google.com] relative to your question.
