Keep WordPress, publish finished pages

You keep editing in WordPress as you do now. Staatic publishes your site as finished pages, so it’s safer and faster without new habits.

Out of reach

Visitors and bots get finished pages. On Staatic Cloud, WordPress stays private and pauses when idle.
Fast without tuning

Pages are built once when you publish, not on every visit.
No lock-in

Download a full backup any time, and the free plugin keeps a site static on your own hosting.
Live parts where you need them

On Staatic Cloud, origin rules send one path, such as an API, to your own server, or to your WordPress with the always-on add-on. Every other page stays static.

Try Staatic on your own site, free for 14 days

Publish your WordPress site as finished pages and see the difference on your own content.
