Many content delivery networks (CDNs) evolved from SSI. .shtml taught the web how to assemble pages from fragments.
Viewing an SHTML link is generally no different than viewing a standard website, but the method depends on whether you are a visitor or a developer.
The View SHTML Link works by using a specific syntax to include content from one file into another. The syntax typically involves using a directive, such as <!--#include virtual="filename.html" --> , to specify the file that should be included. When the server processes the SHTML file, it replaces the directive with the actual content from the specified file.
