Love it
Does one thing and does it well. Give me good results consistently contrary to other more complex caching solutions. Didn't use minification because it had some artifacts, no big deal. Thanks to the dev ! 👏 Feature idea : was thinking: when you work on an existing page and you want to save to preview, it always affect the published, public facing page. Which is frankly stupid. I would love an option in serve static to deactivate the auto cache refresh so I can keep full control on when I want to refresh my cache and the public facing version!

Great Idea
This plugin is a great idea and works wonderfully on standard WordPress sites. However, I can't seem to get it to cache anything on a site with custom category names. It seems to get stuck after trying to make the first post static.

Lots of bugs
I installed the plugin and it does what it has to do but.......every 15 min all the html generated pages are deleted automatically...... Not very convenient when you have to let it regenerate 400 pages every 15 min

The best wp plugin
Just as we have the last airbender, this is the last thing we've relied on for our custom integrations outside wp at our company as we prefer to work with html css and js for our clients but it's easier to work in wp. It seems another review highlighted what we felt like was one of the few things lacking. Users should be able to export to url and while logged in. Should we sign up for custom services to ge the features we want? Export while logged is the first one we want in about a week. Don't hesistate on downloading this plugin, I think it's the best if you also work outside wordpress.

Best static site generator for WordPress
This one just does it. You don't have to pick a folder or configure anything after you enable it. You can also optionally minify your HTML, CSS and JS. It also gives you the option to schedule cron tasks to flush the cache more or less frequently as necessary. It works good alongside my other plugins. It is entirely compatible with managed WP shared hosting plans.

A developer's gem
I love this plugin and the developer is awesome for doing this ... I want to personally compensate you some way in the future for this plugin. Extremely useful indeed. Fantastic work again, Rajin!
