Premium publishing controls

Staatic Premium extends the WordPress static publication workflow with forms and search integrations, scheduled publications, change-based publications, and additional automation. It also adds deployment options for Staatic Cloud. Staatic Cloud offers managed static WordPress hosting.

WordPress remains the editing environment for posts, pages, menus, media, and settings. Staatic crawls the site and builds a publication from the generated pages and related assets, including HTML, pictures, CSS, and JavaScript. Visitors can receive those prebuilt files without WordPress, PHP, or a database handling each public request.

Build, review, and deploy

A publication crawl starts at the front page or a configured Custom Origin URL. You can include additional URLs or paths. Start the publication from WordPress Admin or use the WP-CLI command. In Admin, review its status, logs, resource details, and downloadable output.

Deployment targets include a Local Directory, Amazon S3 or S3-compatible storage, GitHub, Netlify, SFTP, Staatic Cloud, or a zip archive. The selected target determines where the generated files are delivered.

Publication settings

• Configure redirects, custom 404 pages, and HTTP headers for the static output.
• Use additional URLs and paths to include more content in a crawl.
• Set exclude rules to control what gets published.
• Use Premium forms and search integrations, scheduled publications, change-based publications, and additional automation.

Staatic works with WordPress Multisite, WPML, and HTTP Basic Auth-protected WordPress origins. Integration hooks and compatibility improvements support common WordPress setups.

Consider dynamic functionality

Static delivery can reduce the work handled by the WordPress origin during public requests. The published website does not execute WordPress, PHP, or database queries for each user request.

Features that rely on server-side processing or personalized data may need a static-compatible service, a client-side integration, or a hybrid architecture. Examples include native comments, some search implementations, forms that post back to WordPress, eCommerce flows, and membership areas. Staatic Premium provides ready-made integrations for forms and search.

Start a publication

Install Staatic in WordPress, configure the origin and any additional URLs or paths, then select a deployment target. Start a publication from WordPress Admin or WP-CLI, review its status and logs, and deploy the generated output. Premium and Cloud customers can then configure the integrations, schedules, change-based publications, automation, or managed hosting options they need.
