Need to Convert WordPress to a Static Site? Read This

If you’re here, you’ve probably realized what many WordPress users eventually do: traditional dynamic websites can come with slow load times, security vulnerabilities, endless updates, and server headaches.

You want speed. You want security. You want uptime.

What you want is a static WordPress site.

Why Static WordPress ? Why Now?

Dynamic WordPress is bloated with real-time processing, PHP dependencies, and database requests.

Static sites remove that complexity, delivering pure HTML, CSS, and JS making it blazingly fast and hacker resistant.

Speed Boost (Instantly)

No dynamic rendering. No database calls.

Just pre-rendered pages served over a global CDN. Your load times drop, your Pagespeed scores rise, and your visitors stick around.

Bulletproof Security

No login page. No MySQL. No executable PHP sitting out in the open.

Even your admin panel can be frozen and taken offline (with the right solution). It’s the safest WordPress setup you’ll ever use.

Less Maintenance, Less Stress

No dynamic code means those Plugin or Theme vulnerabilities won’t quickly turn into fire-drills, or worse … A full-blown hack.

Simply Static: a Plugin for Converting Your WordPress Site Static … But Not Instantly

Simply Static is a WordPress plugin that exports to static files.

It works… if your site is basic, your needs are minimal, and you don’t mind fiddling.

You Have to Love DevOps

Because it’s just a Plugin, you have to manage the hosting set up all by yourself: WordPress and the production environment.

If you’re not a developer, this quickly becomes a daunting task and we’ve heard countless stories of bailing at this step.

Say Goodbye to Plugin Compatibility

Your options for contact form, AJAX, and other core functionality are highly limited. You can only use what’s supported, which means refactoring lead captures and automated workflows.

The Biggest Feedback: It. Takes. Ages.

We regularly hear this on demos, and new customers making the switch to us. Simply Static takes forever.

But don’t just take our word for it.

WP Engine Atlas is a Full System, but Isn’t Instant Either

OK. So maybe now you’re thinking “I need a full system.” You might’ve come across premium solutions like WP Engine Atlas.

If you’re familiar with WP Engine, you might be thinking “Well, this should be as easy as the rest of their platform, right?”

But it’s not as easy as it sounds and might even be a bit misleading. That solution requires a complete front-end rebuild and a learning curve to turn WordPress into a Content Management API.

• Developers are required and expensive.
• Form plugins, visual builders, and dynamic features are DOA.
• Complex build tools, Git hooks, and headless GraphQL nonsense.

Meet Headless Hostman: a Static Site Generator and Host Built for WordPress

Headless Hostman is a full-fledged platform that turns your existing WordPress site into a blazing-fast, secure, and scalable static site — while letting you manage your content in WordPress just like always.

Why Headless Hostman Isn’t Just Another Static Site Plugin

As a 12-year-old WordPress development agency, we took the same journey you probably did.

We knew Static was the future, and looked for tools to help us deliver it for clients. After testing Simply Static and WP Engine Atlas exhaustly, we simply weren’t satisfied.

• The Plugin option wasn’t reliable, and we had to set up the infrastructure for live hosting anyway
• WP Engine Atlas would require us to sell expensive DevOps packages to rebuild existing WordPress websites. We knew most clients wouldn’t go for this, and nor should they after investing tens of thousands into their site as-is.

So we built a complete end-to-end platform that converts WordPress to Static and hosts it. All in one.

More than that, we knew we had to carry on the spirit of WordPress by:

1. Allowing existing WordPress websites to convert exactly as they are.
2. Supporting Plugins other solutions wouldn’t and couldn’t.
3. Creating ways to emulate the instant publishing gratification WordPress has instilled in its users.
