SSG (static site generation)
Static generation produces HTML pages at build time, once and for all. Served as-is, they deliver maximum speed and total robustness: nothing to compute, nothing to take down.
In practice
This is the mode for our editorial sites: hundreds of pages generated at build time, served in milliseconds. The limit — content frozen between builds — is addressed by incremental regeneration, which rebuilds pages individually without a full republish. For a content site, static should be the default, not the exception.
