    Hi all,
    I have read many posts, but seems that no one answer to my question.
    I haven't understand how a search engine when crawls my site classifies my webpages. Can it recognize a content generated from dynamic page or from static pages?
    I have read in many php scripts that caching for webpages improves performance: if page already exists in cache it's not necessary rerun the script (it's obvious), but what effects caching generate in search engine?

    Excuse for my english, but I'm italian

    URLs are one of the ways for SEs to recognize dynamic / static pages. With URL rewriting that distinction has gone. The only way SEs have now is to use other headers like 'Content-Length' or 'Last-Modified' AND use of 'If-Modified-Since' by browser/crawler. There would be a difference between static and dynamic pages unless someone tried VERY hard to make the behavior same :)

    I haven't see any effects on SEs for caching the pages (used a WP caching plug-in with one of my sites). Would like to hear other's experiences too.

    does the url format like ... index.php?a=b&u=a .... or something like that?

    its better to use url rewriting for that ... so your link is search engine friendly.

    the best tool you can use for url rewriting is:

    can you post your website here so we can take a look?
