Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Static Cache Wrangler
Yes — Static Cache Wrangler captures the final rendered HTML, so it works with any theme, builder, or framework (Elementor®, Divi®, Gutenberg®, etc.).
No — it's designed as a lazy loader, generating static pages only on demand with minimal memory and CPU impact.
No — it never alters your WordPress database schema or adds tables. All plugin-related options, transients, and scheduled events are automatically removed upon uninstall.
Absolutely. The output is plain HTML and assets — deploy it on any web server, CDN, or open it directly in a browser.
Dynamic features like forms, comments, or live feeds won't function in the static version, but all rendered content and assets are preserved exactly.
Revisit the updated pages while generation is enabled, or run wp scw process to rebuild all static content.
Yes! You can customize file locations and behavior using constants in wp-config.php: Change static files location: define('STCW_STATIC_DIR', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/my-static-files/'); Change assets location: define('STCW_ASSETS_DIR', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/my-assets/'); Disable async asset processing (process immediately): define('STCW_ASYNC_ASSETS', false);
You can use WordPress filters to customize behavior: Exclude specific URLs from generation: add_filter('stcw_should_generate', function($should, $url) { if (strpos($url, '/private/') !== false) { return false; } return $should; }, 10, 2); Modify HTML before saving: add_filter('stcw_before_save_html', function($html) { return str_replace('', ' Generated: ' . date('Y-m-d') . ' ', $html); });
Version 2.0.5 removes the following WordPress-specific meta tags from static HTML: * RSD (Really Simple Discovery) links for XML-RPC * Windows Live Writer manifest links * WordPress shortlink tags * Generator meta tags (WordPress version) * REST API discovery links * oEmbed discovery links * REST API HTTP headers * data-wp-strategy attributes on script tags These tags serve no purpose in static sites and removing them improves portability and security.
Remove additional WordPress tags: add_action('stcw_remove_wp_head_tags', function() { remove_action('wp_head', 'your_custom_action'); }); Modify HTML before saving: add_filter('stcw_process_static_html', function($html) { // Add custom footer, remove tracking, etc. return $html; }); See the plugin documentation for 15+ complete examples.
