SSG
n.n. Stands for Static Site Generator. A computer program that builds a website by creating all the pages at once before anyone visits them, making the site very fast.
n. Abbreviation for Static Site Generator. A software tool that applies data and content to templates to generate a set of HTML files during a build process, rather than generating pages on-demand at request time.
I used an SSG to build my personal blog.
The developer switched to an SSG because it improved the site's loading speed and security compared to a traditional database-driven system.
By utilizing an SSG, the engineering team managed to host the entire documentation site on a global content delivery network, significantly reducing latency for international users.
Commonly used in web development contexts; often contrasted with CMS (Content Management System).
