Static Rendering
Static rendering generates a route's HTML ahead of requests, usually during a build or controlled content publication process.
What it means
The resulting files can be served directly and cached widely because request-time application rendering is unnecessary. Changes require regeneration or incremental invalidation, and dynamic user-specific data must be added separately rather than embedded into one shared artifact.
Why it matters
Prebuilt HTML makes primary content and links immediately available and can reduce server work and client JavaScript. Large catalogs, frequent updates or per-user output can make rebuild coordination and stale deployments the dominant risk.
Example
A glossary rebuild produces one HTML artifact per approved term and republishes only changed routes. Stock levels remain an API-powered enhancement, preventing a global rebuild whenever inventory changes.
Common mistakes
Do not call a long-cached dynamic response static rendering, publish stale source data or expose personalized information in shared files. Avoid rebuilding an entire large site for one update when the platform supports safe incremental regeneration.
How AYSA handles this
Signals reviewed
Build output, content revision, route inventory, cache invalidation, client-only fields
Problem AYSA can identify
AYSA can find stale artifacts, omitted routes and static pages whose primary content still depends unnecessarily on client rendering.
Recommendation prepared
The proposal defines regeneration triggers, route ownership and the small set of data that must remain dynamic.
Approval preview
The user reviews affected routes, source revisions, build changes and cache invalidation before approval.
Execution
AYSA can regenerate supported WordPress or configured static outputs; external build platforms require repository and deployment access.
Verification
AYSA fetches deployed HTML, checks its content revision, links, canonical and behavior with JavaScript unavailable.
Limits
AYSA cannot safely prebuild user-specific or rapidly changing data without an explicit freshness and privacy design.

Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Is static rendering the same as browser navigation prerendering?
No. Here it means generating route HTML during a build, not a browser speculatively loading a possible future navigation.
