When the “World Wide Web” was first revealed to the public in 1991, all websites were collections of static HTML documents — each file containing the markup required to render a complete page in a web browser. Almost immediately, the web’s pioneering developers got to work on ways to generate websites dynamically, assembled by code running on web servers and extracting content from database systems.
While static websites didn’t wholly disappear while CMSs came to dominate, a modern approach to the static-site concept is now popular among those who prize speed and security.
On Kinsta’s Static Site Hosting platform, websites are indeed fast and secure. They’re also free.
