Server Side Includes (SSI) is actually a list of directives that will permit you to incorporate the content of a text file inside an HTML file. This way, you'll be able to add any kind of content to numerous webpages on your site and alter it by simply editing just one text file. You're able to also add the output of various scripts so that the present date and time, the IP address of the website visitor or the attributes of a file show on your site. This will enable you to add some dynamic content to static pages, making the site more desirable to your website visitors and creating a far more professional look and feel. It will be quicker to revise this content as compared to editing each static web page one at a time. If you want to use Server Side Includes on your website, the web pages that incorporate the content of any kind of file should be with extension .shtml.

If you'd like to employ this feature for your site, you need to rename your site files from .html to .shtml and you have to double-check if all links on your website point to the updated names.
