Keokuk's Quiet Case for Static Sites

Shared hosting doesn't need to mean slow; it needs to mean fewer moving parts.

Most of the sites I run out of Keokuk sit on ordinary shared hosting. No CDN, no build pipeline, no managed database tier. That sounds like a limitation until you notice how few things there are left to break.

A flat-file site plays to those strengths instead of fighting them.
