Static File Serving

Static file serving refers to a web server's process of delivering files that do not change, such as images, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, or documents, directly to users' browsers upon request. When you visit a website, the server retrieves these pre-existing files from storage and sends them to your device to display the website correctly. This process is efficient because the files are fixed, meaning they don't require processing or updating each time they are requested, allowing websites to load quickly and reliably.
