Static Site Generation

Sveleton uses SvelteKit's adapter-static to generate fully pre-rendered HTML pages at build time. Every route is converted to static HTML and output to the build/ directory, making the site incredibly fast and suitable for hosting on any static file server.

How It Works

During the build process, SvelteKit crawls all routes starting from the root and generates static HTML files. The adapter outputs a 200.html fallback file for client-side routing, ensuring smooth navigation between pages without full page reloads.

All pages are pre-rendered by default using SvelteKit's prerender = true configuration. This means content is generated once at build time, not on each request, resulting in optimal performance and SEO.

Benefits

Static site generation offers significant advantages for media projects: blazing-fast page loads, perfect SEO crawlability, and simple deployment to any CDN or static host. No server required.
