With the recent growth of JAMStack, Static Site Generators — or SSG for short — are becoming more popular again. They provide a great way to simplify the architecture of your blog and make your site faster, more secure, and more responsive. All this without any restrictions.

What are Static Site Generators?
Static Site Generators are used for generating sites that are only made up of static assets. It’s a middle ground somewhere between using a full-fledged content management system and hard coding every bit of your site.
