I don't need to worry about the server, database, etc. I just need to write the content and the SSG will generate the static site for me. + +Static site generators offer several advantages that make them a compelling choice: + +- ***Efficiency***: SSGs pre-generate web pages, eliminating the need for server-side processing. This results in faster load times and reduced server resource consumption. +- ***Security***: Since there's no dynamic server-side code execution, the attack surface is smaller, making your website less vulnerable to security threats. +- ***Scalability***: Static sites can handle high levels of traffic without performance issues, making them suitable for projects of all sizes. +- ***Version Control***: Content and code can be easily managed with version control systems like Git, enabling collaborative development and content updates. +- ***Cost-Effectiveness***: Hosting static sites is often less expensive than dynamic sites because you don't need robust server infrastructure or database management. +- ***Simplicity***: SSGs encourage a straightforward development process. Content is created and organized in plain text files (e.g., Markdown), and the generator takes care of rendering them into HTML. +- ***Portability***: You can host static sites on a variety of platforms, making it easy to switch hosting providers or migrate your site. +- ***Maintainability***: Easy to maintain regarding software updates. +- ***Transparency***: Transparent in what is going on under the hood. Especially the open-source SSGs. + +## Why Hugo? + +I'm using Hugo because it's fast, simple, and easy to use. It's also written in Go, making it cross-platform. I'm avoiding the use of Node.js because it's bloated and slow. Additionally, some individuals have [security concerns related to JavaScript](https://yewtu.be/watch?v=pid5kmWXSj8), so I'm minimizing its usage as much as possible. This site also functions properly even when JavaScript is disabled. + +## Why Netlify? + +I'm using Netlify because it's free, easy to use, and it has a CI/CD pipeline. I'm using the free plan because I don't need the paid plan yet. I'm also using Netlify because it's easy to set up and it's easy to connect to GitHub. + +## Why Blogging? + +I started this blog to jot down things I've learned, mainly because I tend to forget stuff I picked up earlier. But hey, I've made it public, so you're welcome to give it a read and pick up things too. Sharing is caring, after all! ^^ + +Sorry if there are any mistakes in the blog/articles/writeups, you can [contact](/about/#contacts) me if you have any questions. + +Anyway, welcome to my blog and happy reading! ^^ + +![Thank You!](images/sailor-saturn.webp#center 'Hotaru "Sailor Saturn, Guardian of Silence" Tomoe from Sailor Moon')
