I want to store my static website in azure blobs.
My question is, what type of blob (Page-Blob or Block-Blob) should I use for images and javascript files?

Block Blobs were the first option to come along with Azure Storage and tend to be the most common since their goal is primarily intended for streaming (or read-only workloads). Page Blobs came along later to better support VHD mounting with random read-write block ranges.

Since you will have more frequently reading, I would push towards Block Blobs which will give you the best performance for downloads.
