Post is a new site portion where everything will be in reverse chronological order, so the newest post will be at the top of the page. In the post, viewers can comment on their suggestions or what the individual particular need can mention in the comment suggestion at the bottom of the post.
WordPress Page
Pages are similar to the post with the title and body of context but it is different. Because the page contains the posts like blog posts and articles on the website. Pages are timeless content which doesn’t have an expiry date.
Pages are the static part of the website where the host can tell about them in separate pages like the ‘About me’ section. Pages are not a social part to share and it’s the opposite of posting like no comment action, no sharings, pages will be in the constant place of the website.
