Hi all, I'm very new with MODx. Just a question on dynamic vs static content:
The way I understand the web, static is faster and less server resource hungry than dynamic content. So wouldn't it be best to leave as much as possible static if it doesn't get updated or moved around? I mean things like the base URL, charset and website title. I will probably never change them so wouldn't making them dynamic just create an unnecessary server request?
It's not a big deal. I'm just curious and trying to understand the strange and bizarre minds of free developers.

Hello,
You are correct, static resources (images, files, etc) are less server intensive than dynamic resources such as php or asp.net. Granted it's not that huge of a hit with modern servers.
Thanks for the answer.
So am I right in trying to pursue a strategy that minimizes dynamic content or is the difference it will make not worth the effort?
Whatever the answer, this kind of control I seriously like about MODx.
