XO Security
XO Security is not compatible with Simply Static. Its core visitor-facing functionality requires live WordPress and cannot be made static-compatible by upgrading to Simply Static Pro or Static Studio.
About this Plugin
XO Security is a plugin to enhance login related security. This plugin does not write to .htaccess file. Besides Apache, LiteSpeed, Nginx and IIS also work.
Static WordPress Challenge
This plugin depends on live, request-time WordPress/PHP functionality such as sessions, authenticated visitors, or dynamic endpoints. Its core visitor-facing features do not work on a static WordPress site. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio changes that compatibility verdict. Use a separate hosted, headless, or external service if the plugin's use case offers one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is XO Security compatible with Simply Static?
No. XO Security requires live, request-time WordPress functionality and cannot operate as a static site. Simply Static Pro and Static Studio do not change that compatibility verdict.
Can a paid Simply Static product make XO Security compatible?
No. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio can turn XO Security's session-based or request-time PHP functionality into a static-site feature. A separate headless or external service would be a different implementation.
Does XO Security affect static build times?
XO Security has approximately 30,000 active installs. Plugins with complex shortcodes or dynamic blocks may add minor overhead to the static generation pass.
