What are the main benefits of static site generation, and when is it the best choice?

Static site generation produces the fastest possible loading pages since the HTML is already fully built and can be served instantly from a content delivery network, making it ideal for content that does not change often, like marketing pages, documentation, or blog posts that are not updated many times a day.

// Server component with no dynamic data source
// automatically becomes statically generated
export default async function AboutPage() {
  return <h1>About Our Company</h1>;
}
