Server Side Includes (SSI) is actually a range of directives that will enable you to contain the content of a text file inside an HTML file. This way, you're able to add any kind of content to numerous webpages on your website and modify it by just modifying one text file. You'll be able to also add the output of various scripts in order that the current time and date, the IP address of the visitor or the properties of a file show on your site. This shall let you add in some dynamic content to static pages, making the website more appealing to your website visitors and creating a professional overall look. It will likewise be quicker to revise this content in comparison to editing each static web page one at a time. If you want to use Server Side Includes on your site, the pages that include the content of some file must be with extension .shtml.
