The alternative is for the web server itself to deliver a static web page . Scripts can be written in any of a number of server - side scripting languages that are available (see below). Server - side scripting is distinguished from client - side scripting where embedded scripts, such as JavaScript, are run client - side in a web browser, but both techniques are often used together . </P> <P> Server - side scripting is often used to provide a customized interface for the user . These scripts may assemble client characteristics for use in customizing the response based on those characteristics, the user's requirements, access rights, etc . Server - side scripting also enables the website owner to hide the source code that generates the interface, whereas with client - side scripting, the user has access to all the code received by the client . A down - side to the use of server - side scripting is that the client needs to make further requests over the network to the server in order to show new information to the user via the web browser . These requests can slow down the experience for the user, place more load on the server, and prevent use of the application when the user is disconnected from the server . </P>
