Based on executable .cgi files stored in the cgi-bin directory on your web server users can implement applications and features like visit counters and clocks on desired web pages. By adding a line of common gateway interface code into the web page HTML code it will send a request to execute desired action when the web browser is loading that web page. Web Hosts supporting cPanel offer already set CGI-scripts for download or installation. Common CGI scripts used are FormMail, to implement a email contact form on a web page.
CGI Scripts have the reputation of being quite slow leaving the visitors waiting a long time for the page to display properly.
