> Build fast, SEO-friendly sites by generating static HTML at build time.

## Static generation advantages

Static sites are the fastest, most secure, and easiest to host. Every page is a pre-built `.html` file. Google loves them. Tools like Astro, Hugo, and Jekyll generate static sites from templates and data.

## Best for blogs and docs

Static generation is ideal for blogs, documentation sites, and portfolios — any content that doesn't change per user. For real-time data (stocks, auctions), use SSR or dynamic APIs instead.
