Static Content
Static content refers to web files that are delivered to users exactly as stored, without server-side processing or dynamic generation for each request. This includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, videos, and downloadable documents that remain unchanged until manually updated. It is a fundamental concept in web development for serving pre-built, fixed resources efficiently.
Developers should use static content for performance-critical websites, blogs, documentation sites, and marketing pages where content changes infrequently, as it enables fast loading times, low server costs, and high scalability with CDNs. It is essential for optimizing SEO, reducing latency, and simplifying deployment in modern Jamstack architectures, where static files are generated at build time and served globally.
