For those of you who host their own website, do you use a static site generator, or have you in the past, and if so what static site generators were your favorite to work with?

I'm a big fan of Astro. The sites it produces are really fast and they make it easy to integrate libraries like Vue, Svelte, or React. It overall has a nice developer experience as well.

Astro doesn't look to be an SSG? SSGs will produce static html files that can then be served, rather than rendering it on the fly.

It originally was just a static site generator, but it can do both now:

By default, Astro pages, routes, and API endpoints will be pre-rendered at build time as static pages. However, you can choose to render some or all of your routes on demand by a server when a route is requested.
