Getting Started with Static Site Generation

Static Site Generation (SSG) pre-renders pages at build time, resulting in fast, secure, and easily deployable websites.

When to Use SSG

  • Content-focused sites (blogs, portfolios, documentation)
  • Marketing pages with infrequent updates
  • Projects prioritizing performance and security

Popular Options

  • Astro: Modern, framework-agnostic
  • Next.js: React ecosystem
  • Hugo: Go-based, extremely fast
