Static Site-Generation

Generates static content and deploys it to the web server.

Static side generation is a way to create high-performance websites out of dynamic templates. It allows you to deploy Headless Websites, even though the content is dynamic, and uses a CMS or REST API to render the templates. To achieve this, static side generation renders static HTML files during the build process and deploying only those static files on the server.
As a result, the server doesn't need any complex setup, but only needs to host the content. This kind of website is also very fast because the content is already rendered on the server.

This kind of setup is great for websites with a lot of static content, but that still use a CMS, database or API to generate this content, e.g. blogs.
