The Rise of Static Site Generators

Static Site Generators (SSGs) like Next.js, Hugo, and Jekyll are gaining popularity for their performance, security, and simplicity. Unlike a traditional CMS that builds a page on every request, an SSG pre-builds all the pages during deployment. The result is a set of static HTML files that can be served incredibly fast from a CDN. This approach reduces server costs, eliminates many security vulnerabilities, and provides a blazing-fast experience for the end-user.
