    By visiting few pages in a website you can tell whether it is a static or dynamic website.

    For example,

    1) If the website allows member login then it is a dynamic website
    2) If there are many blog posts then chances are it is a dynamic website
    3) If the website is getting data from a database which is in the server then it is a dynamic website

    and so on

      If in the site there is no login option, no blog, and data is not coming or not able to know, then it will be static site?
      Is there any particular way or tools that we can know which CMS using....

    Static websites: websites contains fixed pages and formats.It display the exact same information whenever anyone visits it.(ex:institute sites)

    Dynamic websites: Website can change the web page contents dynamically based on clients browser.(ex:e-commerce sites)

      This is not what a "dynamic website" means in any common use of the phrase. The other definition is poor too, but this is outright false.

      Usually static websites mean something that's purely HTML, and do not have any system behind the site. Dynamic is about the opposite: a script-driven site that dynamically fetches the page contents from a database. This is not strictly either/or, hybrid models do exist.

      If a front page updates whenever there's new content to the site, you can say that it's dynamic. Some SEOs say that static front pages are better because they're easier to rank.

      Yes, there's tools that try to see what the site is running, but I can't remember the names on the top of my head.

          The obvious Google query yields these results:
          BuiltWith Technology Lookup

          Please note that these results are not absolute. Probably not that many "false positives", but it's possible to hide the CMS to the point that it's hard to detect by script.

    Are you talking about if it's based on a PHP for example? Well.. If there is a login menu for example, it's dynamic.. The static page is when the info in the website is the SAME no matter if you or another person visits it (like the homepage picture!)

    A functionality based website is always considered as dynamic website. Where as a website that is not featured with any sort of functionality is considered as static website.

    Dynamic websites: - Dynamic websites are used for bulk size of data, It can change the web page contents dynamically while the page is running on user's browser.

    Static websites: - Static websites are simple light websites which contain fixed number of pages and format of web page is fixed which delivers information to the visitor.

    Simple, but reload the page a few times and see if anything changes. Even static pages can have embedded ads
    though, that change per load, but the page is still served static. So changing ads are not an absolute indicator
    of a dynamic site.
    OR
    the quickest way - resize the window if the website it will try to keep up and the content will try to stay in the
    window - its a dynamic page. If the website stays the same but the window shrinks (nothing happens on page) then
    its no doubt a static page.
