From WordPress content to published files

Simply Static Pro and Simply Static Studio generate static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from WordPress sites. They are intended for public, content-driven websites such as blogs, marketing websites, documentation, portfolios, company websites, product launch pages, and event sites. WordPress remains the place to manage content; visitors receive the generated static site.

The free plugin can export the generated site as a ZIP file or to a local directory. Pro and Studio add deployment, automation, and publishing capabilities for processes that need more than a basic export.

Pro: deploy to infrastructure you manage

Simply Static Pro is aimed at developers, agencies, and technical customers who select and manage their own infrastructure. It is listed at $99 per year per site, with deployment to GitHub, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, AWS S3, BunnyCDN, and SFTP.

• Incremental exports update changed pages, while single-page exports publish an individual page.
• WP-CLI support enables command-line automation.
• Forms integration supports Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms, and Fluent Forms.
• Static-friendly search uses Fuse.js or Algolia.
• Multilingual support covers WPML, Polylang, and TranslatePress.
• Other included capabilities are minification, picture optimization, comments integration, and email support.

Studio: managed hosting and delivery

Simply Static Studio combines Pro features with fully managed WordPress hosting and static site hosting on a global CDN with 120 or more locations. It is listed at $19 per month per site, with a 14-day free trial.

Studio also includes automated backups, SSL certificates, one-click WordPress login, free white-glove migration, team management, access control, pre-configured options, and priority support. It is presented for businesses running one to five websites, content creators seeking a simpler workflow, and users who prefer managed service over infrastructure control.

Check site requirements

Static publishing is intended for public content. It is not suited to sites that depend on e-commerce, membership areas, user authentication, real-time data, heavy AJAX functionality, or shopping carts. Examples include WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, membership extensions, and login-required content.

Pro and Studio support forms, search, comments, and newsletter signups through external services. Check compatibility for specific plugins before choosing a plan.

Generate and publish the site

Install Simply Static on the WordPress site used to manage content, then generate the static output. Choose a ZIP export, a local directory, or a Pro or Studio deployment destination. Configure URL replacement and any relevant forms, search, multilingual, or optimization settings, then publish the generated files to the selected hosting or CDN service.
