The Simply Static Plugin is an early attempt at what we’re doing.
It, however, is glitchy at best.
Through better development practices, our horse wins the race.
We’ve tried Simply Static, and we were so frustrated we decided to build our own solution.
Which isn’t accurate and takes forever.
The Simply Static Plugin acts like your average bot crawler, scraping your site and doing its best to export what it finds page by page.
We use native WordPress functions to convert your existing website into Static pages ready to go to the great beyond. Because our methodology is baked into WordPress frameworks, there’s no guess work involved.
Our counts are exact, and we know every page.
The Simply Static Plugin tries to download and upload ALL of your site files to your selected export destination.
This not only consumes an insane amount of bandwidth on your host server, but takes ages and isn’t reliable because the Plugin fails to properly make it past this singular huge job.
The moment you upload a file or image to your Headless staging site, we immediately upload it to our Network.
That means when you go to build pages, or the site, we aren’t waiting on your images to upload during the export.
They’ve beaten you there, and they’re ready to rock.
Even if you’ve made it this far, you still require a developer to set up your Headless environment, map it, and make sure it works. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
This is a full service. We set it up for you on our proprietary network built on Cloudflare – the foremost provider for Static in the industry. Even ye ole Atlas by WP Engine relies on Cloudflare. We cut the middle man and made it even better.
All you need to do is click the buttons and your site is doing its thing.
Publish a new page or post that appears somewhere else?
With typical static, if you push something like this it’s on you to go find that page and push it, too. Or worse yet, push the whole site because you’re frustrated.
With us, we allow page and post type mapping.
Publish a blog post? You can automatically tell the pages rendering blog post content to update without needing to push 5 buttons.
It’s fully inclusive of custom post types, too. We provide a list based on your entire site ecosystem out of the box and allow you to pick what needs to update.
