Static output
Combine filters →Static output means the software runs once at build time and writes finished HTML, CSS and JavaScript files. Those files can be served from any web server or CDN, with no runtime or database on the host. Content changes need a new build and deploy, and anything personal or interactive runs in the browser or calls a separate service. A record holds this value when its documentation describes generating a complete static site as a supported output.
55 projects render static output, listed alphabetically. Mostly site and docs generators, web frameworks and content management systems, of 11 categories in all. 140 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way. For 371 the question does not apply. Counts only projects with momentum; the full list has the rest.

Which of these is best?
We don't know. A portfolio, a shop and a documentation site need different things from their software, and so does a team of one against an agency. Nobody pays to be listed here and the order is alphabetical.
