Server side includes were pretty common back in the day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Side_Includes

They weren't common. It depended mainly of the server configuration, language used, etc. Most of the websites were static with some dynamic pages. Includes becane really popular with the rise of PHP and ASP language.

Right, but server-side includes mean unnecessary technology and bandwidth use to work around the absence of a trivial(ish, there are probably a few snags) feature.
