A static website is made of pre-built HTML, CSS and JavaScript files with no server-side code running per request.

What Is a Static Site?

Every visitor receives the same files directly from a content delivery network (CDN) — there's no database query or server-rendered template involved.

How Static Hosting Works

You upload a folder of files; the host distributes them across edge servers worldwide so pages load quickly regardless of visitor location.

Typical Deployment Steps

text
1. Prepare your folder (HTML/CSS/JS files)
2. Choose a static host (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel)
3. Drag-and-drop or connect a Git repository
4. The host publishes your site to a CDN
5. Point your custom domain at the deployment

Because there's no backend, static sites have no server to patch, scale or take down — which makes them fast and low-maintenance.
