Static Porter - Complete Description
Category: WordPress Plugins • Platform: PHP
Static Porter is a high-performance static site generator designed for speed and simplicity. It crawls your website and converts your database-driven pages into flat HTML files, allowing your server to bypass PHP and MySQL entirely for lightning-fast load times.
Unlike traditional caching plugins, Static Porter generates a physical directory of your site. When a visitor arrives, your server serves the pre-built HTML file instantly.
Key Features:
- One-Click Full Crawl: Easily generate a static version of your entire site.
- Smart Refresh: Automatically updates the static home page and post pages when you hit publish.
- Persistent Cache Table: Monitor exactly which files are cached with individual ‘Delete’ and ‘Recrawl’ controls.
- Advanced Optimization: Built-in HTML Minification and Gzip compression support.
- Security & Caching: Automatically configures .htaccess with security headers and browser caching rules.
- Lightweight & Fast: Designed to be resource-efficient with a built-in “Stop Crawl” safety feature.
