Coming from a non-statically typed language such as PHP or JavaScript, when you hear dynamic type, we think of being able to modify any object runtime. C# is mostly statically typed, but has great support for some dynamic behaviour.
One of the things that greatly impacts users experience is a website’s is perceived performance. One way of getting better perceived performance is by decreasing page load time, this not only helps user experience, but also gives you a better ranking in some search engines such as Google.
