Streaming Static Site Generator

Static generation is one of the best ways to deliver high-performance web pages. Typical Static Site Generators (SSG's) re-build the entire website every time there is a change in underlying data. For large sites with constant updates, this can cause lags and site crashes. Yext Pages has a better way.

Performance

Our streaming static generator is built for enterprise with the capability of statically generating hundreds of thousands of pages. Anytime your underlying data changes, Yext streams a new data record to your SSG. The SSG only re-generates the page in question, not the whole site, saving you time and headache. These data changes are processed at top speeds and automatically added to the logs for visibility of your website.

The Data Layer

Yext Content powers the Yext platform. This allows you to create a fully custom data model for all of the public facts about your brand by setting up relationships between your data records.

Jamstack Architecture

Pages uses a Jamstack architecture to deliver fast, statically-generated web pages over a global CDN. Today, most pages are built by monolithic CMS systems, which generate pages at request time. This process is slow, expensive to program, and difficult to scale during periods of high traffic. By contrast, Pages uses static site generation to build and serve pre-built pages ahead of time by caching them at a CDN, significantly improving page performance and load speed. Thanks to the static nature of Jamstack development, your front-end development team doesn't need to worry about server-side infrastructure, such as load balancing or database vulnerabilities.
