Simply Static - the best WordPress static site generator. (2024)

Simply Static Pro is an add-on for Simply Static extending it with
new deployment options, search, forms, and optimization features.

Effortless deployment options

• Diverse platforms: Choose from platforms like our very own SimplyCDN, GitHub (including Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel), Amazon AWS S3, Digital Ocean Spaces, or even BunnyCDN.
• Local development covered: 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.
• Automated deployments: With Simply Static Pro’s built-in webhook integration, you can set up automated processes post-deployment, such as sending out emails or triggering other tasks.

Optimize your static site

• Minification: Minify your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to deliver the best performance of your website when going static.
• Hide WordPress: Replace all the default paths of WordPress like wp-content and wp-includes, rewrite the plugin and theme directory, and even replace plugin names to completely hide the fact that you are using WordPress.
• Disable Core Features: Get rid of unwanted features in WordPress, like emojis, outputting Rest API URLs, or showing the current version of WordPress.
• Image Optimization: Optimize all your images with our ShortPixel integration for maximum performance.

Forms and comments integration

• Form support: Integrate forms from popular plugins like Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, or Elementor Forms without any hassle.
• Comment management: Even on a static site, you can manage and display comments, ensuring that user interactions and feedback are not lost.
• Integrate automation: Use external tools like Zapier or IFTTT to automate form-like outputs and workflow.

Advanced search functionality

Offer users a seamless search experience:

• Basic search: Use Fuse.js for a straightforward search function.
• Advanced search: Implement Algolia for a more detailed and responsive search experience, allowing users to find content faster and more accurately.

Static Website Updates Made Easy

Managing content on your static site is simplified:

• Incremental Exports: Just click update; we will only push changes to your static site.
• Single exports: Quickly publish, update, or delete individual static pages or posts.
• Bulk management: Export a list of posts, files, and URLs all at once, updating your static site with a single click.

Go Multilingual

Cater to a global audience with multilingual support:

• Language tools: Simply Static Pro integrates seamlessly with WPML, Polylang, and TranslatePress.
• Flexible exports: Run static exports per language or all at once, ensuring content is accessible to users in their preferred language.

I ended up converting one WordPress site to static and it was super simple. I had one question about GitHub access that was answered quickly.

This is a great addition to allow a site to be hosted in S3/Cloudfront and have no more issues with wordpress getting attacked.

WordPress is very useful but has too insecure, unreliable and slow to be used by critical sites without a solution like this. […]

I was having a lot of issues with malwares, but in the end it led me to this static solution for WordPress sites and I’m really enjoying this new approach of developing WordPress projects in a fast and secure way

Publishing a Jamstack site from WordPress gives the best of both worlds – content creation that’s flexible with a serverless website (we publish to S3).
