What Is a 'Static Website' and Why Is It Crucial?
Summary
Unlike complex websites built on systems like WordPress (a CMS) that assemble a page from a database every time someone visits, a static website is pre-built.
Every page is a simple, ready-to-serve file. It's a Lean, efficient, and incredibly robust internet presence.
Why it's Crucial
- Blazing speed:
- With no database to query, static websites load almost instantly, providing a superior user experience and boosting SEO.
- Ironclad security:
- There's no database or complex login for hackers to target, making it inherently more secure.
- Low maintenance:
- No need for constant updates or security patches for a CMS. It’s "set and forget," saving you time and money.
- Sustainability:
- Less processing power required means less energy consumed, directly reducing your digital carbon footprint.
