About this Plugin
This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts.
Static WordPress Challenge
WP Super Cache is a caching plugin that conflicts with Simply Static's static generation approach. Both plugins serve the same purpose of improving site performance through caching/static files, but using them together creates redundancy and potential conflicts. Simply Static's static generation provides the performance benefits that WP Super Cache offers, making WP Super Cache unnecessary when generating a static site.
