Architecture - How CARL Builds and Serves Static PHP Pages

CARL generates real PHP files and writes them to disk on your server. When a visitor loads a page, they get that pre-built file directly — no database query, no plugin stack, no CMS runtime on the live request. This cluster covers how that system works under the hood: how pages are built, stored, and served, and what that means for speed, security, and ownership.
