Static Site Generators (SSG)

Last updated by Simon Späti

A static site generator (SSG) is a software used to generate static websites. Usually in plain HTML with added CSS, and potentially little JavaScript.

Most importantly static sites do not have server-side logic, so for any given URL, all users will receive the same content. Which makes it fastest website, as there is not faster way of plain old HTML.

Not optimal for interactive content, but super optimal for static content like blogs, or notes, websites, etc. That’s why my Second Brain and website (blog) is all built on top of GoHugo. For my book, I use mdBook which is a SSG as well, but for books specific. See more on Create a Book on Markdown.
