Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Simply Static - The Static Site Generator
Yes! The core plugin is 100% free and open source. It provides everything you need for basic static site generation and ZIP export. Simply Static Pro and Studio are optional premium products for advanced features like automated deployment, forms, search, and managed hosting.
Free: Generate static sites, export as ZIP or to local directory. Perfect for testing and simple exports. Pro ($129-399/year): Advanced deployment, automation, forms, search, WP-CLI. For developers and agencies self-hosting. Studio (from $19/month): All-in-one managed hosting. We handle WordPress, static hosting, backups, SSL, everything. For businesses who want zero maintenance. See detailed comparison
Yes, but you'll need to manually upload the ZIP file to your hosting provider each time you update your site. For production sites with frequent updates, we recommend Pro (automated deployments) or Studio (fully managed).
No. Simply Static creates an exact copy of your WordPress site. Same HTML, same CSS, same JavaScript. The only difference is it loads faster and is more secure.
No. Simply Static works through a simple WordPress admin interface. Click a button, get your static site. Developers can extend Simply Static with 100+ hooks and filters, but coding knowledge is not required for basic use.
Yes! Your WordPress site remains fully functional. You use WordPress to manage content, then generate a new static version when you're ready to publish updates.
With the free version, these features won't work on your static site (they require server-side processing). Simply Static Pro and Studio add working forms, search, and comments to your static site using smart integrations.
Yes! Deploy your static site to: Cloudflare Pages (free) GitHub Pages (free) Netlify (free tier) Vercel (free tier) Or host on any traditional web host or CDN for very low cost.
Simply Static works with virtually all WordPress themes and most plugins. Confirmed compatible themes: Virtually all (including block themes) Page builders: Elementor, Bricks, Gutenberg, Beaver Builder, Divi SEO plugins: Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress Form plugins: Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms (forms work with Pro/Studio) See full compatibility list
Caching plugins make your WordPress site faster, but your WordPress installation remains accessible and vulnerable. Simply Static creates a completely separate static copy that serves no PHP, has no database, and can't be hacked. Your WordPress installation stays private and secure.
