Jekyll: you're already statically generated
Jekyll is the original static site generator and the engine behind GitHub Pages. If you're on Jekyll, you're already on the architecture we'd migrate you to. We're not the right service.

What Jekyll is
Jekyll is a Ruby-based static site generator, the original popular SSG, and the default engine behind GitHub Pages.
If you're hosting your Jekyll site on GitHub Pages, you're already on free static hosting with a global CDN. There's no service we provide that you'd benefit from.
If you're hosting your Jekyll output somewhere else and paying for it: move to Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages. Both are free and operationally identical to what we'd give you.
Jekyll's particular strength is being the default for GitHub Pages — push a Markdown file, get an updated site. That workflow is already what most people would build by switching frameworks. The only reason to migrate away from Jekyll is if you specifically dislike Ruby tooling, and even then, the answer is to switch to Hugo or Eleventy on the same hosting infrastructure.
If you're a Jekyll user who has stopped publishing and the site is just an archive: keep the source repo, leave it deployed on GitHub Pages, and move on with your life. The site costs nothing to keep online and works as long as GitHub does.
