FAQ

How will Staatic improve the performance of my site?

Staatic will convert your dynamic WordPress site into a static site consisting of HTML assets, images, scripts and other assets. By removing WordPress (and even PHP) from the equation, requested pages from your site can be served instantly, instead of having to be generated on the fly.

Why not use a caching plugin?

Caching plugins are great to improve the performance of your site as well, however they (usually) don’t remove WordPress itself from the stack, which adds additional latency.

Also by using Staatic, you are free to host your site anywhere. You could for example choose a very fast cloud provider or content delivery network, providing even more performance.

Will the appearance of my site change?

No. At least, it should not. If the static version of your site does differ, it is probably because of invalid HTML in your original WordPress site, which could not be converted correctly. In that case you can verify the validity of your HTML using a validator service like W3C Markup Validation Service.

How will Staatic improve the security of my site?

Since your site is converted into static HTML pages, the attack surface is greatly reduced. That means less need to worry about keeping WordPress, plugins and themes up-to-date.

Is Staatic compatible with all plugins?

Unfortunately not. Because your site is converted into a static site, dynamic server side functions are not available. Plugins that require this, for example to process forms, retrieve data externally etc., do not work out of the box, or are not supported at all.

You will need to make modifications to make such features work, or you can choose Staatic Premium which adds such functionality automatically. For more information, please visit staatic.com.

Will it work on shared or (heavily) restricted servers?

Staatic has been optimized to work in most environments. The major requirements are that the plugin is able to write to the work directory and connect to your WordPress installation.

I have tried different plugins with varying degrees of success especially given the strict requirements of the deployment including: Ability to set the /tmp/staatic location as the working directory when deployed as a containerised app on a read-only filesystem. Accurately rendered all JS and CSS from complex layouts and sliders without needing to manually track down and add missed assets. Extremely responsive support from Team Staatic including working through the weekend to help resolve the slight issue I faced. 10/10 comes highly recommended!

The plugin gives you all you need and works like a charm. From generating static sites to publishing them in one click only. The great thing about the plugin is the team behind it. I had a few interactions, through the support forum, and they were amazing. Attended to the issues promptly. If the team keeps doing what they are doing, I think they will be unstoppable in WP SSG. Kudos Team Staatic.

I've tested a lot of static Wordpress plugins but this one is the best so far. Works out of the box on shared hosting.
