Static Site Generation (SSG)

Pre-building HTML pages at build time rather than on each request, resulting in fast, crawler-friendly sites.

Understanding Static Site Generation (SSG)

SSG generates static HTML files during the build process, serving pre-rendered pages instantly. This approach is ideal for SEO and AI visibility because content is immediately available without JavaScript execution or server processing. Popular SSG frameworks include Next.js (static export), Gatsby, and Hugo. SSG sites are fast, secure, and easily crawlable.
