A static site generator builds plain HTML files ahead of time from templates and content, rather than generating pages dynamically from a database on every visit.
Why Go Static
Static sites load extremely fast, since there's no database query or server-side processing involved, and they have a dramatically smaller attack surface since there's no CMS login or plugin ecosystem to exploit.
When It Makes Sense
Documentation sites, simple portfolios, and landing pages that don't change often are ideal candidates. Sites needing frequent non-technical content updates or e-commerce functionality are usually better served by a traditional CMS.
