TypicallyCMS-based sites must query a database for content, then render the HTML to be served to the end user; all this to serve the same content for request after request. Even with caching this combination is hardly elegant for sites where only the administrator changes the content.

With static sites the web server merely needs to serve static HTML to an end user. This has profound performance benefits; static sites walk whilst dynamic sites crawl. Above this, the ability to track all site changes in a Git repository adds better control when it comes to collaborative editing.

Whilst this server is running you can update your site; you will find some useful variables to edit in _config.yml. To add a new post or edit the existing demo, simply add a new markdown file in the _posts directory.

Create a GitHub repository which contains the files of the site we want to serve (such as our Jekyll source or our HTML). As my GitHub username is IcyApril, I can create a repository called icyapril.github.io. Be sure that the repository name is all lowercase.

Enabling HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) will help ensure that your visitors have to communicate to your site over HTTPS, by telling browsers that they should always communicate over encrypted HTTPS. Be careful if you choose to set this though, it may render your site inaccessible if you wish to choose to ever turn HTTPS off.
