We helped thousands of people switch to Static WordPress. Read about their experience with us:
★★★★★
I was having many issues with malware, but it ultimately led me to this static solution for WordPress sites, and I’m enjoying this new approach to developing WordPress projects quickly and securely.
Andre Esteves Perrone
Developer & Instructor
★★★★★
I ended up converting one WordPress site to static, and it was super simple. I had one question about GitHub access, which was answered quickly.
Dan Holloran
Full-Stack-Developer
★★★★★
This is a great addition, as it allows a site to be hosted in S3/Cloudfront and prevents WordPress attacks.
Kevin Withnall
CTO
★★★★★
[…] Simply Static is a comprehensive solution for anyone looking to improve their WordPress site’s performance, security, and cost-effectiveness. With the bonus of outstanding support from Patrick, it’s a must-have for any WordPress user. Highly recommended!
Maarten Emmerink
Founder & CEO
★★★★★
Publishing a Jamstack site from WordPress gives the best of both worlds—flexible content creation with a serverless website (we publish to S3).
Douglas Stein
Director of Engineering
★★★★★
WordPress is very useful but too insecure, unreliable, and slow to be used by critical sites without a solution like this. This way, we get the benefits of WordPress without the downsides.
Jocelyn Earl
CTO
★★★★★
As an agency, we work with many customers who come to us with either existing WordPress sites or new sites that are perfect candidates for static sites. Supporting static sites is a lighter lift on the agency site, and the customer wins on better security and typically better performance […].
Jim Hankins
Founder & CEO
★★★★★
Static sites have many benefits. The pro version has a good feature for a solid implementation. I’ve encountered a few edge cases, and their support has been prompt and professional.
Scott Green
Founder & CEO
★★★★★
The plugin setup was easy and works great out of the box. The documentation is good, and support is great if needed, too!
