Static Site Generators

Static Site Generators (SSGs) are tools that create websites by pre-building all their pages as simple, static files like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Unlike dynamic sites that generate content on-the-fly with databases, static sites load faster, are more secure, and are easier to maintain. Developers write content in formats like Markdown, and the generator transforms this into ready-to-serve web pages. When visitors access the site, these pre-built files are delivered directly, ensuring quick load times and reliable performance. SSGs are ideal for content-focused websites like blogs, portfolios, or documentation sites.
