What this post added

This post details the benefits and structure of modern Static Site Generators (SSGs), including their environment, template engines, markup languages, preprocessors, and directory structures. It explains how SSGs automate web development to output static sites from dynamic writing, leading to faster page loading times and reduced server load. The post also covers blog-aware SSGs, supported content types (client-side processing, media files), interactive services, and utilities, as well as the limitations of SSGs (e.g., inability to register users or have admin access). It explicitly mentions the integration with GitLab Pages for building SSG sites.
