Look for Alternatives to Strattic.com? Look No Further

If you were using Strattic to make your WordPress site static—or exploring them as an option—you probably already know they’ve shut down as of Jan. 1, 2025.

That’s a huge loss for the static WordPress ecosystem — but it also highlights a bigger issue: the solutions we’ve relied on have never quite been complete.

Enter Headless Hostman. We’re not a plugin. We’re not a workaround.

We’re a full-stack static WordPress platform—built by people who needed better speed, control, and stability. And we’re just getting started.

Why Strattic Shutting Down Left Users in the Lurch

Strattic helped bring static WordPress to the mainstream.

One big problem: when Elementor announced it was going away, they didn’t offer an alternative service to pick up where they left off.

This sent Static WordPress users scrambling to find a comparable solution.

Luckily, Headless Hostman replicates every feature of Strattic in ways you’re familiar with. Beyond that, however, we’ve taken it to the next level with:

1. Performance options
2. Multisite
3. And soon-to-be-dropping WooCommerce Static support

We Solved What Strattic Didn’t: HTML Optimization for Speed

Static WordPress is fast by nature—but that’s not enough. If your HTML isn’t optimized, Google PageSpeed Insights will still punish you. Most static exporters—including Strattic—just dump the raw output from WordPress. It’s flat HTML, but it’s not smart HTML.

Headless Hostman fixes this during generation. Because we handle your static HTML as it’s built, we can rewrite and enhance it for performance before it ever hits the edge server.

What That Includes:

1. Critical CSS Generation (Above-the-Fold)
2. Defer Stylesheets Intelligently
3. Remove Unnecessary Gutenberg CSS
4. Lazyload Images and Backgrounds
5. Preload Images for First Contentful Paint
6. Convert Backgrounds to Image Tags When Needed
7. Add Missing Image Dimensions
8. Make Scripts Non-Render Blocking
9. Lazyload iFrames on Scroll
10. Defer Below-the-Fold Rendering Using Content Visibility
11. Minify HTML and Remove Whitespace Bloat

All of this happens during static generation. No extra plugins. No waiting. No rebuilds because you updated a setting. Just deploy and go.

What About Plugins Like WP Rocket and Perfmatters?

We tested them. We respect them. But they weren’t built for static. They often break during conversion, cause inconsistencies, or simply fail to deliver the optimized HTML we need.

Even worse, they run slow, resource-intensive background jobs that require frequent manual intervention—clear caches, regenerate files, flush buffers. Static sites deserve better. So we built better.

And Yes—We Built It with Developers in Mind

While Strattic abstracted everything away (sometimes too much), Headless Hostman gives developers more control—not less:

• Git-style Deploy Logs
• Custom Optimization Toggles per Site
• Page-by-Page Conversion Logs
• Advanced Rewrite Rules and CDN Mapping
