How Simply Static changes the model
Keep editing in WordPress
Traditional WordPress serves every public visit through WordPress, PHP, plugins, themes, and the database.
Simply Static changes the public delivery model.
Your team keeps WordPress for content, design, SEO, and updates.
Simply Static publishes a static version of the public site, so visitors get fast pages without WordPress having to generate every request.
Edit in WordPress
Keep using the editor, page builder, media library, posts, pages, and publishing workflow your team already knows.
Publish static output
Simply Static turns the public version of your site into static files.
Serve visitors the fast version
Visitors get static pages from modern hosting/CDN infrastructure, with fewer moving parts in the public view.
