Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Staatic – Static Site Generator for WordPress

Staatic crawls your WordPress site like a visitor, starting from the site's front page or configured Custom Origin URL, plus any additional URLs or paths you provide. It captures the generated HTML and related assets, then stores them as a static publication. When that publication is deployed, visitors receive prebuilt files instead of waiting for WordPress, PHP, plugins, and the database to build each page on demand. This usually improves time to first byte, reduces server load, and gives you a simpler public delivery path.

Caching plugins can be useful, but the public request still usually reaches WordPress infrastructure. Cache misses, cache purges, plugin behavior, and origin capacity can still affect visitors. Staatic changes the architecture: the public site is a deployed set of static files. You can host those files on your own server, object storage, a static hosting provider, or a CDN-backed setup, depending on the deployment method you choose.

No, it should not. Staatic publishes the output that WordPress already renders for visitors. If the static version differs, the cause is usually frontend behavior that depends on server-side requests, invalid HTML, blocked assets, authentication, or plugin/theme output that behaves differently while being crawled. The publication resources and logs can help identify what was captured and what failed.

Static delivery reduces the amount of WordPress infrastructure exposed to public visitors. Your public site can be served as files, while WordPress remains the authoring environment behind the publication workflow. In a private-origin, public-static setup, visitors do not hit wp-login.php, plugin PHP code, or database-backed page generation on the public site. This reduces the blast radius of many common WordPress risks, including plugin runtime vulnerabilities, automated login probing, and server-side behavior that only exists while WordPress is serving each request. You still need to maintain your WordPress origin, themes, plugins, accounts, and deployment credentials. The main security benefit is architectural: fewer dynamic systems are involved in serving anonymous public traffic.

Not entirely. Static sites do not run WordPress, PHP, or database queries for each visitor request. Plugins that depend on server-side processing on the public site may need changes or alternatives. Common examples include native comments, some search implementations, forms that post back to WordPress, eCommerce flows, membership areas, and plugins that fetch personalized server-side data. For forms and search, Staatic Premium provides ready-made integrations. For other dynamic features, use a static-compatible service, client-side integration, or a hybrid architecture where needed.

Staatic is designed to work on typical WordPress hosting, including many shared hosting environments. The server must be able to write to the configured work directory and make HTTP requests to the WordPress site being published. Large sites, slow origins, strict firewalls, disabled loopback requests, or very limited PHP execution time can require tuning. The Site Health checks, publication logs, and advanced settings are the best starting points if a publication does not start or takes too long.
