@vmxarya I agree that the sentence wasn't very well-written; thanks for bring this up!
I've suggested a better fix, as I thought your suggestion was still unclear. I've simplified the existing wording, and also added a specific example. Let me know what you think.

| - Server-side code (such as a Python script or an ASP.NET page) generates HTML content that varies depending on what data is passed to it, and then returns that HTML to the client. It is therefore referred to as "dynamic". For example, the same weather forecast page can show different data depending on whether the weather is sunny or rainy, what location the user is in, and what their preferences are (some users want to see pollen count and humidity, whereas others may not care about that data and might select preferences to hide it). |

Made a change for better understanding between static and dynamic websites
Description
making an explanation more understandable, and now I can better understand why sites need to be dynamic ( because clients made a change to them ! )
Motivation,
when I was reading it, I didn't see myself in it!
Additional details
The dynamic part of the explanation is too technical; I didn't understand it when I first read it. It uses a phrase twice without providing any understanding of what the user is doing here.
