A non-CGI gateway typically serves static web page content. Static content refers to web pages that are delivered to the user exactly as stored on the server, without any server-side processing involved in their delivery. These pages are made up of fixed HTML files that render the same information to every user unless the files are manually updated.

In contrast, dynamic content often involves server-side scripting (like CGI - Common Gateway Interface), where the server generates content in real-time based on user requests or interactions. This means non-CGI gateways focus on content that does not change and does not require any computation or database interaction at the time of access, leading to faster load times and a simpler delivery mechanism.

In the context of web servers, static content is easier and faster to serve because it does not involve any complex processing, as opposed to dynamic pages that require computations and can vary from one user to another.
