Static Porter turns your WordPress site into pre-built HTML files, so visitors get instant page loads without your server ever touching PHP or a database.
Most caching plugins just speed up WordPress. Static Porter goes further: it generates a real, physical copy of your site that can be served on its own — from your own server via Apache, from Cloudflare’s global edge network, from an AWS S3 bucket behind CloudFront, or as a downloadable ZIP you can host anywhere. Your live WordPress site stays completely private and secure behind the scenes; only the static HTML is ever exposed to visitors.
Built with shared and budget hosting in mind: a live “Peak Memory” monitor, a one-click “Stop Crawl” safety switch, and sensible defaults mean you’re never one crawl away from taking your server down.
Automated Maintenance (Smart Refresh)
Never worry about stale content. Static Porter watches your ‘Publish’ button. When you post, we instantly regenerate just that post and your homepage — keeping your site fast and fresh without you lifting a finger.
Why choose Static Porter?
- Deploy anywhere: Not locked into one platform. Serve statically from your own Apache server, push to Cloudflare Workers, upload to AWS S3 with automatic CloudFront cache invalidation, or export a portable ZIP — pick whichever fits your infrastructure.
- Built for real-world WordPress: Works with page builders, shortcodes, and JavaScript-driven widgets. A built-in Documentation tab explains exactly what works out of the box and what needs a small adjustment first (forms, WooCommerce checkout, etc.).
- Safe by default: Every feature that could meaningfully change your site’s output — Cloudflare deployment, S3 deployment, asset mirroring — is hidden until you explicitly turn it on. Nothing surprises you.
Key Features
Static generation & speed
* One-Click Full Crawl: Generate a static version of your entire site in one click.
* Server-Safe Crawling: A real-time “Peak Memory” monitor and an emergency “Stop Crawl” button, designed for budget shared hosting where resources are limited.
* Smart Refresh: Publishing or updating a post automatically regenerates just that page and your homepage — no manual recrawling for routine edits.
* Advanced Optimization: Built-in HTML minification and Gzip compression.
* Security & Caching: Automatically configures .htaccess with security headers and browser caching rules.
Deploy anywhere
* Cloudflare Deployment: Push your static files straight to a Cloudflare Worker, serving your site from Cloudflare’s global edge network. Hidden until you enable it.
* AWS S3 + CloudFront Deployment: Upload directly to an S3 bucket, with automatic CloudFront cache invalidation on every deploy. Hidden until you enable it.
* Asset Mirroring: Optionally copy your CSS, JavaScript, images, and fonts locally too, so a deployed or exported site works completely standalone — no dependency on your WordPress server staying online.
* Download as ZIP: Export your entire static site as a single ZIP file — perfect for local browsing, migrating hosts, or keeping an offline snapshot.
Visibility & control
* Persistent Cache Table: See every cached page with five independent actions per row: View, Recrawl, Copy URL, Exclude, and Delete — each with clear confirmation and feedback.
* File Storage Location: See exactly where your static HTML files live on disk, with a one-click “Copy path” button and a writable/not-writable status check.
* Built-in Documentation: A dedicated Documentation tab covers every feature — how it works, file locations, compatibility, deployment options, and FAQs — without ever leaving wp-admin.
