    SSG

    SSG generates HTML at build time for each route. It’s fast, cheap, and highly indexable — perfect for content-heavy sites.

    Definition

    SSG (Static Site Generation) renders pages into static HTML during build. After deployment, CDNs can serve HTML instantly without per-request rendering, making it ideal for tutorials, glossary pages, and tool landing pages.

    Why it matters

    • Best performance: CDNs serve HTML with low TTFB
    • SEO-friendly: every route has indexable HTML
    • Simple deployments: perfect for Cloudflare Pages

    How to implement

    • Prerender static routes (tutorials, glossary, tool pages) at build time
    • Make metadata canonical/hreflang/schema route-aware
    • Rebuild/redeploy on content updates and refresh the sitemap
