Delivery Delivery

Delivery is another term for the third phase in the Content Life Cycle, where a CMS publishes the pages (serves them to website visitors or sends them to print production).

The delivery servers are sometimes called production servers, which is often confused with the production of content (usually called development) in the first Content Creation phase of the content Life Cycle.

Delivery servers are often caching servers, and they may only provide "static" versions of "Baked" pages that were generated from "dynamic" pages.

If the dynamic pages are served directly they are called "Fried."

Personalization of pages requires that Delivery be from dynamic servers.
