What does SimulateStaticDocuments mean?

SimulateStaticDocuments (SSD) is the name of a TypoScript command. It is used to convert TYPO3's default URLs with GET parameters (like "index.php?id=123") into pseudo-static URLs (like "products.html").

The simulated static URLs are better readable for human visitors. Also it can improve search engine optimization. A similar, but much more sophisticated, way to convert URLs into speaking URLs is by using the realurl extension.
