For Security-Sensitive Sites
Secure WordPress
by making it private
Keep WordPress for your team. Serve visitors a static frontend with no public WordPress login, no public database dependency, and no public PHP/WordPress runtime.
Built for public content sites where WordPress is useful internally but risky publicly.
WordPress is useful. Public WordPress is the concern.
Keep editing in WordPress
For many teams, WordPress is not the problem. The public exposure is.
Security-sensitive organizations often like WordPress for publishing, approvals, content operations, and SEO. But they do not want the visitor-facing site to depend on a public WordPress login, plugins, PHP, or a public database connection.
Studio changes the architecture for public content sites: WordPress stays private for the team, and visitors get a static frontend.
How Studio changes the threat model
Before Studio
Visitors reach a dynamic WordPress site. The public frontend depends on WordPress, PHP, the database, plugins, themes, login routes, caching rules, and server configuration.
With Studio
Your team edits privately in WordPress. Studio publishes a static version of the site to visitors. The public site does not expose the same WordPress runtime on every request.
Important note
This does not mean “no security work ever.” Your private WordPress environment, accounts, DNS, integrations, forms, and deployment process still need to be secured. The benefit is reducing what the public internet can reach.
Precise security benefits
WordPress stays private for the team, and visitors get a static frontend, eliminating 90% attack vectors right away.
No public WordPress login
The public site does not need to expose the standard WordPress login experience; instead, we use our own secure, token-based one-click login and 2FA.
No public database
Visitors are served static pages rather than dynamic pages generated from a live database, which makes SQL injection almost impossible to execute.
No public PHP/WordPress runtime
The public site does not need WordPress running on every request – we make your site look the same, but without having a PHP runtime on your static instance.
Less plugin exposure on the public site
Plugins can still matter in the private editing environment, but visitors are not interacting with dynamic WordPress for every page view.
Passwordless magic login and 2FA
All our accounts work with our very own passwordless magic login – add a good password policy without making things too complicated – optionally, you can also set 2FA.
Site isolation and lean stack
All sites are fully isolated, each with its own web server (NGINX). SSL standards, CORS, server updates,
monitoring, and firewalls are managed by us.
What still needs to be secured
We’ve done the hard part already, but there are still a few things you should keep in mind regarding security.
Private WordPress access
Admin accounts, passwords, roles, and authentication still matter – this should be good practice for any site.
Forms and integrations
Our form solution automatically detects and blocks spam, but if you use external services, we recommend an audit.
Publishing workflow
The publishing process needs to be understood by the team. It’s easy, but definitely a shift from standard WP.
Compliance review
We provide a reduced-exposure architecture, but compliance claims should be reviewed.
Move your current WordPress site without starting over
Start by checking whether your current WordPress site is a good fit for static delivery. If it is, you can migrate with the Simply Static migration plugin or request white-glove migration help from the dashboard.

Frequently asked
Simply Static is not about abandoning WordPress. It is about using WordPress where it is strongest and removing it where it creates risk, cost, and complexity.
Is this the same as managed WordPress security?
No. Managed WordPress hosting improves and protects the WordPress stack. Static Studio changes what visitors reach by serving a static frontend.
Does this make WordPress unhackable?
No page should make that absolute claim. The accurate claim is that Static Studio can reduce public exposure of WordPress sites for suitable sites.
What still needs a security review?
Private WordPress access, accounts, DNS, forms, integrations, deployment workflow, and connected third-party services.
Is this right for regulated teams?
It can be a strong fit for public content sites in security-conscious environments, but each team should review its own compliance needs.
