A focused reading collection for static sites.
Static-site work depends on a clear distinction between editable source and the files visitors receive. This collection selects articles about building, checking, and publishing that output. Read with your project's source directory, build command, output directory, and hosting destination in view so each step has a visible input and result. Compare a fresh visit with a repeat visit when caches are part of the serving path.
Begin with the static website deployment guide to establish a repeatable release path. If a generator is involved, connect it with the Hugo deployment discussion. The hosting hub gives the wider delivery overview, while these filtered articles help you examine links, assets, stale output, and recovery at release time.
Move from a repository to a reliable public website with a repeatable build, a reviewed artifact, purposeful preview checks, and a rollback plan that accounts for both HTML and cached assets.
Understand how a Git release reaches visitors through Nginx and a CDN. Set explicit routing and cache policies, keep private source outside the web root, and verify changes at the public edge.
