Static site
A static site is a website primarily devoted to presenting content through fixed or prebuilt pages rather than pages dynamically generated for each request.
Microsoft Azure in Action
A static website is a website whose pages are delivered as precomposed files rather than generated dynamically for each request.
- How it is used
- Uses static sites to provide a low-maintenance customer website hosted in Azure Storage when dynamic content is unnecessary.
- How deep it goes
- Works through file placement, publishing, index and error documents, verification, and custom domains, while deferring deployment automation.
- Examples
- Uses a small business website, index.html and error.html, Azure CLI configuration, and a custom subdomain as concrete examples.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure it by uploading files to $web, enabling Azure Storage static website hosting, testing its endpoint, and optionally connecting a custom domain.

A static web page is a web document served as stored content rather than generated dynamically for each request.
- How it is used
- Serves stored web pages as a simple web application or as one content type handled by an HTTP server.
- How deep it goes
- Builds a static-file server with Actix and summarizes a custom HTTP implementation for serving pages and JSON.
- Examples
- Uses a bank homepage, an HTML file, and a `/static` route that serves files from a directory.
- What you can do after
- Apply Actix Web and actix-files to serve an HTML file from a static directory.
