If you have Node installed on your computer, then you can use light-server.

Setp 1: Install light-server using command npm install -g light-server

Step 2: While current working directory is the folder containing the static HTML page, start light-server using command npx light-server -s . -p 5000 -w "*.css # reloadcss" -w "*.html # reloadhtml" -w "*.js # reloadjs"

Step 3: Open the web page in browser at http://localhost:5000

Server directory can be changed using -s switch
