Description
Simply Static is a static site generator that converts your existing WordPress website to a static website that you can host on your server, a static hosting provider, or a CDN.
It drastically improves the performance of your website and minimizes security risks as it removes the connection between your traditional server and your static website.
Simply Static can also be used by local development tools like LocalWP or Lando to develop your website offline and push the static site online.
This reduces your hosting costs to zero (depending on your requirements and the used service/provider).
Performance
Converting your website to a static website can drastically improve your performance. Simply Static eliminates all requests to your database and by that reducing the first time to byte.This is especially impactful for websites that use long pages with a lot of animations, graphs, and other load-heavy tools like sliders.
Security
Removing the connection to your database and traditional server reduces the risk of getting hacked.This reduces the stress to keep your WordPress website up to date and keeps your data secure (locally or in a protected environment).
Reduce hosting costs
Using Simply Static to deploy your website to one of the static hosting providers, a CDN or an S3 bucket reduces the amount of money required for reliable web hosting.With the right setup, you can even host your website completely for free (Cloudflare Pages and GitHub Pages for example).
Local development
Develop your site locally and only push the static exported website on a server. To ensure everything works as expected I created a list of development tools that are completely supported:I highly recommend not to use another tool for local development if you are not a programmer as in most cases manual package installation is required.
Simply CDN
Simply CDN is the simplest way to bring your Simply Static generated static website online.You can easily export your static website directly from Simply Static to Simply CDN.
Simply CDN will optimize your static website for the best performance and security without technical challenges.
Take your WordPress website offline and manage it from your local computer with tools like LocalWP and host your static website with Simply CDN.
It will also send all form submissions to your configured e-mail address – there is no reason not to shut down your WordPress website anymore.
