SSI provides a simple and effective mechanism for adding simple pieces of dynamic content with very little overhead; for example, a common footer for each page that includes the date and time the page was served. As another example, the Apache 2.0 distribution uses SSI to provide a custom look and feel for error messages. It works by embedding special processing instructions inside web pages and evaluating them before the content is returned to the client.
