# Menu pages are rendered per request

The landing page and Section pages are rendered by the app on each request instead of being generated as static HTML at publish time. Publication becomes a single directory rename, and a Draft is previewed through the same renderer customers use, at the cost of every customer page view depending on the app being up.

**Considered Options**: static generation at publish time, rejected because it would mean two renderers to keep in step and a separate path for previewing Drafts.
