For example, I run a blog, where comments are disabled. I engage with people on social media. So basically all of my pages are static. Having an option to mark some of the posts as static would drastically improve the loading time and reduce server load a lot. Resulting in better SEO score and discoverability as well as overall better user experience.
Caching as it is right now is pretty fast no complaints there. But simple test shows that the same exact page loads twice as fast when it’s static because it doesn’t require any backend calls. (just save the website via browser and run int on the server, compare the timing)
Almost all websites have a bunch of static pages, especially corporate websites, portfolios, and blogs. I think it is worth to have such a thing alongside with other cool features the Clearfy plugin comes with.
Usability concerns:
1. Static files should be probably updated only when I hit the update button. 2. There should be an option to disable “static pages” when surfing as an Admin. 3. Search result page can’t be static. 4. Won’t work with “Infinite Load” powered pages but that shouldn’t be a concern. As it’s not a good practice to use them anyway. 5. Default Blogroll can’ be static either I guess.
Alternatives:
Current static site plugins are clunky at best and don’t work so well in most cases. Judging by the quality of your product I think you guys are the best candidates to tackle this task.

Highly recommend for decoupled WordPress projects.
]]>Thanks!
]]>Is there any way I can have both? I’ve been playing around now a couple of hours with posts and pages and am slowly but surely going crazy.
If someone could give me a tip or let me know where to find more information about this topic I would be very thankful!
Thanks,
Cecilia
Many thanks in advance
]]>I’m building a static website. On Settings > Reading I’ve selected a “front page” and a “post page”. And now I want to show a “featured image” on all pages as a part of the header and this works on all pages but the “post page”
This is the code I use
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail( 'header-image' ); } ?>
I want to show the “post page” image and not the feature image from the first post!
Thanks for the help.
