Yes. As someone already pointed out - mostly people use ESI for this. Or
Javascript.

And every item's status is in real-time(whether it's in stock, and how many

for at least a second or two or ten. Nobody will know and your database
will love it.

So for now, we dynamically generate every webpage, and use a CDN to
