Does google crawls static site created in php?

[versasol]

hello guys,

I have one static site which is created in php.

now my confusion is, does google as friendly as it works with static HTML sites.
for example,
xyz.com/index.php & xyz.com/index.html -- are they both equally favorite for google or not?

I know HTML sites are more preferable, but i dont have exact idea for static php sites.

does it make any difference? If yes, then what is that?

Please help me
Thank you

It should make absolutely no difference.

As per my thoughts it would be better to create a site in HTML if you go for static site. Rather than creating a site in PHP it would be easier to create a site in HTML. also you can edit the pages easily with HTML than PHP.

For Search Engine concern, I have noticed with webmaster that in html site no. of pages crawled are more than PHP site. also the crawler has to spent less time to downloading a HTML page than PHP.

Also, you can see very less sites with keywords in rankings for PHP pages.

My advise is to go for HTML if your site is static.

Dhvanil

It seems like a familiar with Google search engine so promote your site with good SEO stuff.

PHP is a scripting language that's processed server-side, and the pages that are generated are HTML. Search engine bots don't know what happens before the page is served up to the user agent (crawler), what they see is HTML pages. You can use PHP on pages with .html or .htm file extension, it doesn't matter; but it is much better to have simple, non-dynamic looking URLs, which can be accomplished with .htaccess

No difference between .htm or .php file extension.

Completely false. PHP makes updating much, much easier.

For Search Engine concern, I have noticed with webmaster that in html site no. of pages crawled are more than PHP site. also the crawler has to spent less time to downloading a HTML page than PHP.

There are more .html extensions presented because there are more .html extensions out there. That's because most people don't take advantage of what PHP can do or already built their site before PHP became popular. However, it makes no difference what the extension is.

Also, you can see very less sites with keywords in rankings for PHP pages.

Nope. Extension doesn't matter.

My advise is to go for HTML if your site is static.

If you know PHP then you should use it as it will make your life so much easier.
