We recommend using Static Generation (with and without data) whenever possible because your page can be built once and served by CDN, which makes it much faster than having a server render the page on every request.
const sum = (num1: number, num2: number): number => {
return num1 + num2;
};
console.log(sum(4, 8)); //12
You can use Static Generation for many types of pages, including:
- Marketing pages
- Blog posts
- E-commerce product listings
- Help and documentation
You should ask yourself: "Can I pre-render this page ahead of a user's request?" If the answer is yes, then you should choose Static Generation.
On the other hand, Static Generation is not a good idea if you cannot pre-render a page ahead of a user's request. Maybe your page shows frequently updated data, and the page content changes on every request.
