Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Make Me Static, Static Site Generator, Git, Pages and Live Stats

Yes, the license relates to number of scans per day, scan rates, database size etc

In theory yes, although compatibility and interaction with with plugins will vary. The production process tries to be be clever when it comes to rewriting URL's for AJAX, forms etc, but given the number of potential edge cases this will always be ongoing. (please request support for specific plugins if you're having problems. We can't guarantee to add support, but we'll be happy to take a look to see what's involved.)

For a few examples, take a look at; * https://makemestatic.com * https://madpenguin.uk * https://linux.uk * https://nutpress.co.uk

In your plugin, if you look at the "Profiles" view, the first column is labelled "Profile". If you click on the profile name, it will attempt to link to where it thinks your static site should be if it has been published. If you are using GitLab, this link should be to the "public URL" entered into your profile. If you are using the default Git option, this link should point to a unique URL on the MadPenguin pages platform.

First you need to make sure you have verified your email address, do this by clicking on the Subscription button at the top of the screen. There is no obligation here, it's Free, we just need a point of reference before allowing you to point a domain at us. When you've done this, edit the profile to which you want to add a domain. If your email address has been verified, you should see a "domain" field. Enter your domain in here (just the domain, so "abc.com" or "test.abc.com") then click in the orange "verify" button next to it. This will give you instructions on which DNS records you need to add to make it work. This might take a short while, you can click on "verify" and "Ok" repeatedly to re-check the result. Once it's verified, you will get a green tick next to the domain and the Orange button will turn blue. If you then click "confirm" to close the edit window, clicking on the profile name in the list of profiles should hopefully take you to your new site via your new domain.

Make sure you set your permalink structure to be something other than "Plain" as this mode won't generate a file and folder structure suitable for a static site. Make sure you have NOT enabled "short tags", so you need "short_open_tag = Off" in your PHP config

This depends to an extent on the speed of your website, but also on the crawl rate you select. If you are running your Wordpress effectively as an off-line copy and presenting your main site as a static, and are prepared to hammer your Wordpress instance when it comes time to update, it's pretty quick.

The scan rate ONLY affects pages, it is assumed static assets will be subject to caching hence will be scanned as fast as the scanner can go based on the number of cores at it's dispostal.

No, it's based on the number of items remaining vs the number scanned. As assets are "discovered", they will be added to the "pages remaining" total. There is no way of knowing how many assets will be discovered, so the progress indicator is a "best effort".

No. If it does, then the plugin thinks something changed. You will be able to see what got updated by looking at the commit / PR on your Git control panel. (or with "git diff")
