Static Site Generation (SSG)
A build process that pre-renders web pages as static HTML files at build time for maximum speed and security.
What Is Static Site Generation (SSG)?
Static site generation creates all HTML pages at build time rather than on each request. The pre-built pages are served directly from a CDN, resulting in extremely fast load times, excellent security (no server-side code to exploit), and high reliability. Modern SSG frameworks like Next.js, Gatsby, and Astro support incremental static regeneration, allowing pages to be updated without rebuilding the entire site
SSG is ideal for marketing sites, blogs, documentation, and any content that does not change on every request.
