Overview
With SSG, every page is pre-rendered into a static HTML file during the build process. These files can then be deployed to a CDN and served instantly to users. This is the core of the Jamstack architecture.
Benefits
- Performance: Serving static files from a CDN is incredibly fast.
- Security: No database or server-side code to exploit at runtime.
- Scalability: Static files are easy to scale globally.
- SEO: Search engines receive fully rendered HTML.
