How SSG Works
Build Time Generation
During npm run build or npm run generate, Nuxt pre-renders all pages as static HTML files
CDN Distribution
Static files can be deployed to any CDN or static hosting service like Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages
Lightning Fast Loading
Users get pre-generated HTML directly, no server rendering needed, extremely fast loading
