The shown page is HTML. It's a plain-old website that works the same way websites have always worked: the page is generated at request time, and HTML is served directly to the client. It's not technically a "static" site because the HTML is not cached ahead of time, but apart from the fact that the whole back-end is a single JS file, there's nothing special here.
