Static website generators

-
Static website generators create websites from plain text, usually stored in files and not in databases. In certain situations, static websites built by generators, such as Jekyll, allow for some advantages, such as increased speed, security, ease of deployment, and their handling of traffic surges. However, they have no real-time content or user content (such as comments), which have become a “must” on the web today.
As Content Delivery Networks and APIs become more and more the way of life on the web and make it easier for content and templates to be deployed, many devs think static site generators might be an interesting area to watch in the coming year.

The survey was based on a sample of 1,031 US consumers and covers a wide range of issues. It affirms the general importance and influence of reviews on consumer decision-making. However, there are a number of nuances and findings I found especially interesting. The top two considerations for consumers in considering reviews were average star ratings and overall quantity of reviews. In addition, how recent reviews were was important for many. Less important was whether businesses had responded to reviews, although that factor has gained in importance versus last year. After reading a positive review, fewer consumers said they were going next to the business website versus 2016. This showed a fairly dramatic decline.
