  • Hit and miss

    On one site it work, on other it doesn't.

  • Works well, great support too.

    I tried a few other Static Site Generators, but this one seemed to work the best for me. And many thanks to the support team for their help ironing out a few issues we did have.

  • The only static exporter that works

    This is 5/5 and then some! I tried simply static and it would take 3 times longer, provide no status on progress, and worst of all, it wouldn't export all the posts or pages. I tried other generators and they either wouldn't output the custom post type which is part of my theme, or simply wouldn't work like WP2static. I spent about 10 hours trying to get this export working. I made minimal changes with this plugin to the settings, when things didn't work the first time I could see what wasn't working (404's in my site) just by reading the logs, correcting it, and then uploading the 2nd run through to my host.This was also much faster, the only feature I would like to see would be page caching so that it doesn't have to rescan because when i need to do small edits on pages without no new pages made, i would like to skip this step as it takes about 10 minutes for my site.

  • Waste of time

    I tried this plugin because it has S3 functionality. Unfortunately hours of troubleshooting with both ChatGPT and Deepseek did not result in a single working export of my basic website. The URLs were broken 100% of the time, ignoring the critical settings specified.

  • Best WP Static Site Generator

    This plugin is awesome. The seamless integration with Netlify, GitHub and S3 is really what makes it superior to plugins in the same category.

  • Best WordPress Static Site Generator

    I've been trying to convert my sites to static HTML for a while now and after trying many different plugins and other techniques. I have to say, this is the best and easiest way to convert a WordPress site to static HTML.I love that this plugin is being actively maintained so here are is a feature suggestion I think would make Staatic even better: Incremental pushes to GitHub.
