class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-static-wordpress-website\">What is a static WordPress website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A static website is a website made from static HTML files that are unconnected to the normal dynamic processes of a WordPress site (PHP, database, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to understand what this is, you need to understand how a regular WordPress site works. Here&rsquo;s a simplification of the basic process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A visitor navigates to your website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your web server executes PHP and queries your WordPress site&rsquo;s database to generate the HTML for the finished page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your web server serves that finished HTML to the visitor&rsquo;s browser.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>With a static website, you just upload those already-generated static HTML files to your server. That way, there&rsquo;s no database involved, no server-side processing involved, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the tutorial, you&rsquo;ll learn exactly how this works. The basic idea is that you create a &ldquo;regular&rdquo; WordPress site in some type of private environment and then use a static site plugin to generate the static HTML files that you can upload to your hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-pros-and-cons-of-making-a-wordpress-website-static\">Pros and cons of making a WordPress website static<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-pros\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Free static site hosting<\/strong>. You can find quality free hosts for static sites, such as Cloudflare Pages and Netlify. Normally, I don&rsquo;t recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-free-website-hosting\/\">free hosting for &ldquo;regular&rdquo; WordPress sites<\/a>. But for static WordPress sites, free hosting still works great.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fast performance<\/strong>. Because you&rsquo;re eliminating dynamic processing, your site will load super fast, even on free hosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scalable performance<\/strong>. It&rsquo;s still easy to make your site perform well, even in very high-traffic situations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bulletproof security<\/strong>. Because there are no &ldquo;moving parts,&rdquo; static websites are pretty much impossible to hack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Most core WordPress features work as usual<\/strong>. You can still use <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/most-popular-best-free-wordpress-themes\/\">WordPress themes<\/a> and <em>many<\/em> (but not <em>all<\/em>) WordPress plugins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-cons\">Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Some plugins won&rsquo;t work<\/strong>. This is especially true of form plugins, though it will apply to other plugins. You can fix this with third-party form builders, like Jotform or Typeform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Native WordPress comments won&rsquo;t work<\/strong>. You can fix this with third-party comment tools like Disqus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Native site search won&rsquo;t work<\/strong>. You can fix this by using Google Site Search or third-party hosted site search tools, like Algolia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra work is needed to update\/change your site<\/strong>. Whenever you change something, you&rsquo;ll need to &ldquo;re-deploy&rdquo; your site&rsquo;s static files. You can automate this, but it is a little more complicated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No personalization\/user accounts<\/strong>. It&rsquo;s a lot more difficult to authenticate users and\/or personalize your website&rsquo;s content (<em>e.g., a membership website where logged-in users see different content from guest users<\/em>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-when-does-a-static-wordpress-website-make-sense\">When does a static WordPress website make sense?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, the static approach can work well for these types of sites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Portfolio websites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business brochure websites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple blogs (<em>especially if you don&rsquo;t<\/em> <em>publish new posts<\/em> <em>that often<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the static approach is <strong>not<\/strong> generally a good idea for these types of sites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More complex blogs (<em>especially if you publish lots of content<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-set-up-woocommerce\/\">Ecommerce stores<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-start-a-membership-site\/\">Membership sites<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any type of site that requires user registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sites where you make a lot of changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sites where you want to personalize content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-a-static-site-on-wordpress-in-five-steps\">How to make a static site on WordPress in five steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I&rsquo;ll show you step-by-step how to do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set up your dynamic WordPress environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build your WordPress website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Export your WordPress site as static HTML files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload your site&rsquo;s files to a static site hosting service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Re-deploy your site whenever you make changes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m going to start at the beginning and assume that you don&rsquo;t have any type of WordPress website yet. However, if you already have an existing &ldquo;dynamic&rdquo; WordPress site that you want to turn into a static WordPress site, you can skip ahead to step #3.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-1-set-up-your-dynamic-wordpress-environment\">1. Set up your dynamic WordPress environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to control the content of your static WordPress site, you still need to have a &ldquo;regular&rdquo; WordPress website <em>somewhere<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will <strong>not<\/strong> be the version of your site that&rsquo;s publicly available on the internet. Rather, it&rsquo;s just where you&rsquo;ll design your site and add your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve built your site in this environment, you&rsquo;ll generate static HTML files from your site and then host those somewhere, which is what your visitors will actually interact with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay &ndash; so where should you put this dynamic WordPress environment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the two main approaches to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Local WordPress environment<\/strong> &ndash; you can create a local WordPress environment on your own computer to build your site. The only downside is that it means you can only work on your site from your computer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private hosting\/staging environment<\/strong> &ndash; you can create your dynamic WordPress site in some type of private hosting or staging environment. This approach is nice because you can access your site from anywhere &ndash; just make sure that this version of the site is private so that people can&rsquo;t accidentally find it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to create a local WordPress environment, I recommend free tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/localwp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Local<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/kinsta.com\/devkinsta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DevKinsta<\/a>. We have lots of posts on how to build a local WordPress environment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/local-by-flywheel-wordpress-on-mac\/\">Local tutorial<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/local-wordpress-development-using-docker\/\">Docker tutorial<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/install-xampp-and-wordpress-locally\/\">XAMPP tutorial<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to host it in a private area, I recommend something like <a href=\"https:\/\/instawp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">InstaWP<\/a> as an easy and free solution. Or, you can host it <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-wordpress-hosting\/\">on &ldquo;real&rdquo; WordPress hosting<\/a> &ndash; just make sure that the site is private. For example, you could require a password to access the site at the server level using the .htaccess file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this guide, I&rsquo;m using InstaWP.

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Form plugins<\/strong> &ndash; most form plugins will stop working when you turn your site into static HTML files, so consider using a third-party form service like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.typeform.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Typeform<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jotform.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jotform<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/forms\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Forms<\/a>, and so on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Comments\/comments plugin<\/strong> &ndash; your comment section will stop working, so consider using a third-party, JavaScript-powered comment box like <a href=\"https:\/\/disqus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Disqus<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s what my finished WordPress site looks like using the free Neve theme and the Otter Blocks plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

Export your WordPress website as static HTML files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve finished building the private &ldquo;dynamic&rdquo; version of your site, you&rsquo;re ready to convert your WordPress install into the static HTML files that your website&rsquo;s visitors will actually interact with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/simply-static\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the free Simply Static WordPress plugin from Patrick Posner<\/a>, which is available at WordPress.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you install and activate the plugin, go to <strong>Simply Static &rarr; Generate<\/strong> to access the tool&rsquo;s dashboard area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re feeling adventurous, you can go with the default configuration in the Simply Static plugin, and generate your site that way, but it might be worth to spend a couple of minutes there and adjust your final site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Simply Static has a list of plugins it&rsquo;s compatible with (<a href=\"https:\/\/simplystatic.com\/plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see here<\/a>) that you might want to check out. If your favorite plugin is not on that list, it&rsquo;s a good idea to find an alternative to it and use that one instead before generating a static image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reasoning is that certain plugins <em>do their thing<\/em> in a very specific way, and that way might not work well when converted to a static site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For context, not all SEO plugins are fully supported by Simply Static yet. Something mentioned in this post earlier, contact form plugins are also problematic and generally don&rsquo;t work on static sites unless done via frontend-based tools. Or, unless you want to upgrade to the premium version of Simply Static which <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.simplystatic.com\/article\/16-set-up-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">does support this<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to customize how the generation process works, go to <strong>Simply Static &rarr; Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to consider there are URLs. By default, the plugin will rewrite all of your site&rsquo;s URLs to use relative paths, which means they&rsquo;ll work with any <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/top-level-domain-tld\/\">top-level domains<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large blog-img-std\"><img data-opt-id=1591653225

Upload your site&rsquo;s files to a static host (e.g., Cloudflare Pages)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have the Zip file of your site&rsquo;s static files, you need to upload them to your hosting service to make them live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <strong>you <em>can<\/em> host your static website on pretty much any web host<\/strong>, I recommend using a dedicated static website hosting service like <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.cloudflare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloudflare Pages<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netlify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netlify<\/a> for a few reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Most are free<\/strong> &ndash; for most static WordPress sites, services like Cloudflare Pages and Netlify will be 100% free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Built-in content delivery network (CDN)<\/strong> &ndash; these services will automatically serve your site&rsquo;s static files from a global CDN, which means your site will have faster global load times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easy deployment options<\/strong> &ndash; these services offer special tools to help you re-deploy your static site when making changes (<em>more on that next<\/em>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For this tutorial, I&rsquo;m going to recommend and use Cloudflare Pages, which will let you host your static website <strong>for free<\/strong> and automatically serve up the static files from Cloudflare&rsquo;s huge global network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how to get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dash.cloudflare.com\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Log in to your Cloudflare account<\/a> (or <a href=\"https:\/\/dash.cloudflare.com\/sign-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">register for a free Cloudflare account<\/a> if you don&rsquo;t have one yet).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Workers &amp; Pages &rarr; Overview<\/strong> in your Cloudflare dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the <strong>Pages<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>Upload assets<\/strong> button under <strong>Create using direct upload<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large blog-img-std\"><img data-opt-id=137740069

Re-deploy your static WordPress website when making changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you complete the previous step, you&rsquo;ll officially have a working static website that started as a fully-functional WordPress site!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, what if you want to change something on your site? For example, publishing a new blog post, editing a page, tweaking your design, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When this happens, you&rsquo;ll need to do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make the change on your private &ldquo;dynamic&rdquo; WordPress site &ndash; i.e., your local WordPress site or staging site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&ldquo;Re-deploy&rdquo; your site&rsquo;s static files to your live host (e.g., Cloudflare Pages, as I showed you above).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The simplest way to do this is to just use the Simply Static plugin to generate a new Zip file after you&rsquo;ve made your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Cloudflare Pages, you can easily upload this new Zip file and have it overwrite your existing version by clicking the <strong>Create new deployment<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large blog-img-std\"><img data-opt-id=467110000
