Static websites are pre-built HTML pages delivered exactly as stored, with no server-side processing. This approach creates distinct performance, security, and maintenance advantages that developers rely on for critical projects. Static websites serve pre-rendered HTML files directly to users, offering fast load times and strong security. They're ideal for documentation, blogs, portfolios, and small business sites. The Jamstack architecture combines static delivery with APIs and client-side JavaScript to create fast, scalable, and interactive experiences. This approach splits the front-end presentation from the back-end data, allowing for faster performance, better security, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. Static websites are well-suited for projects where speed, security, and simplicity are priorities, particularly those with stable content and predictable traffic patterns.
