Changelog

1.13.2

Release date: September 27th, 2026.

Introduces the staatic_origin_rule_paths filter to supply origin rule paths from code.
Defers WordPress background updates while a publication of the main site runs, so an update does not put the site in maintenance mode mid-crawl.
Introduces the staatic_defer_automatic_updates filter to turn off deferring background updates.
Introduces the staatic_automatic_updates_deferred action, fired with the publication ID and site ID each time an update run is deferred.
Introduces the staatic_http_retry_options filter to adjust how failed HTTP requests are retried.
Adds an Origin Rule Paths setting under Build settings to exclude paths that your CDN or hosting platform forwards to an origin from publications. (Premium)

Excludes paths that Staatic Cloud origin rules forward to your origin from publications.
Caps the pause between crawler retries at 30 seconds and gives up retrying a URL after about two minutes, so a site that is briefly in maintenance mode no longer holds up a publication for 10 minutes per attempt.
Shows the origin rule paths that Staatic Cloud manages for the site read-only under Build settings. (Premium)

Prevents Elementor’s locally hosted Google Fonts stylesheets from being published with font URLs that point at the WordPress site instead of the static site. (Premium)

Release date: September 23rd, 2026.

Adds a Publication Retention Count setting under Advanced settings.
Introduces the staatic_publication_tick action during crawling.
Adds Site Health advice for persistent object caches on large sites and crawl queue indexes stored in ascending order.

Speeds up crawling on large sites with batched crawl queue dequeues and discovered URL writes.
Keeps the crawl pool fed with time-budgeted batches, so publications started from the WordPress admin run as fast as WP-CLI.
Corrects the primary key order of the results deployment table on existing installs and indexes publication logs by date.
Sends the uploads directory to Staatic Cloud so Uploads Sync works on multisite subsites. (Premium)

Prevents wp-admin fatal errors when packaged plugin files are missing.
Prevents Elementor generated CSS from being abandoned during uploads sync. (Premium)
Ignores non-string entries returned by the uploads index exclusion filter. (Premium)

Release date: September 8th, 2026.

Adds a Publication Time Limit setting under Advanced settings, so publications on large sites can be given more than the default four hours before they are canceled.
Adds an Uploads Sync option to the Staatic Cloud deployment method that registers media from the uploads directory without crawling it; on Staatic Cloud hosted sites media is synchronised server-side, elsewhere it is uploaded directly from disk. (Premium)

Speeds up result lookups by build and URL with a new database index, benefiting redirect and configuration post-processing as well as registering uploads on sites with many media files.
Replaces the publication test task with a bounded backend-worker survival diagnostic that reports disabled, running, complete, incomplete, and stale states, without claiming to test proxy responses or CPU capacity.
Speeds up Staatic Cloud publications further by synchronising crawled resources server-side as well, instead of uploading them from the site. (Premium)
Summarises how many results collided onto the same file path when deploying to Staatic Cloud. (Premium)

Prevents an HTTP Concurrency of zero from being saved, which stalled the crawl batch size.
Prevents duplicate publication diagnostics, delays the first recurring run after the initial dispatch, and removes the Site Health status test when diagnostics are intentionally disabled.
Prevents large publications from failing when the deployment is initiated from the WordPress admin, by building the deployment manifest in bounded steps that resume across background runs.
Gives additional redirects precedence over generated results for the same address on every deployment method, instead of silently dropping the redirect or uploading the generated page alongside it; the publication log now names each result a redirect replaced.
Prevents a publication from removing the only remaining version of a page when two addresses that differ by a trailing slash redirect to each other.
Removes redirect results that point at their own address instead of publishing them as pages.
Prevents a publication from failing when media files are deleted from the uploads directory while it is running; the affected files are now reported and skipped instead. (Premium)
Resolves failing uploads for pages whose address only differs by a trailing slash, by consistently deploying a single version of such pages. (Premium)
Shows crawl progress as pages fetched against pages to fetch when Uploads Sync registers media from disk, instead of counting the registered media as remaining work. (Premium)
