Server Side Includes (SSI) is a basic server-side language, which lets you include text from a given source inside a web page. In the most typical situation, the text from a single file is incorporated in another, providing a site the sense it is dynamic.

As soon as you change this text file, the modified content is going to appear on all of the five webpages, which will enable you to revise your website faster and easier than if you had to modify part of all 5 pages. Server Side Includes is at times utilized to contain the output of basic commands, scripts or functions as well - a hit counter that's shown on the website, the current date and time or the visitor's IP address. Any webpage that makes use of SSI will need to have a unique extension - .shtml.
