Server Side Includes (SSI) is a well-known server-side scripting language, which can be used to add the content of one file within a second file. It's utilized mainly with online content and it could help make a static HTML site far more dynamic. If you'd like to have a daily quote displayed on various webpages within your site, as an example, you can make a text file and switch the quote within it each day. All web pages in which this file is included are going to show the modified quote, so you will not need to change every one of them by hand each time. SSI can also be used to incorporate the output of basic functions as opposed to a static file - for instance, the visitor's IP address, a hit counter or maybe the present date and time. This way, you may make your site seem far more professional and much more appealing to the website visitors. Web pages that employ SSI get a .shtml extension.
