What is an SSG?

SSG typically stands for Static Site Generators. These are tools that generate static HTML pages from templates and content, which can then be served directly by a web server without the need for a backend application. SSGs are popular for their performance, security, and scalability, as they reduce server load and are less vulnerable to common web attacks. Examples of SSGs include Jekyll, Hugo, and Gatsby. They are commonly used for blogs, documentation, and portfolio sites.
