Unfortunately, site killer…

  • The idea of this plugin is great. Being able to create static versions of your WordPress site and publish that instead.

    However, you will need a local WordPress install somewhere or you might get your site shut down by your provider.

    (But then the other static WordPress plugin, HTML-something, that can send your files over FTP might be a better choice since this one can only copy or zip them it has to be a WordPress running the same user the final static site would…)

    If you’re like me, a person that leaves things on tabs in your browser and forgets about them this plugin will start some javascript thingy and call the site once a second 24/7… ultimately leading to overuse of resources.

    (It would be great if the plugin javascript code realized somewhere down the line that something wasn’t working as it should and gave an error message instead of just keeping up the DoS-like bombardment of HTTP-calls for weeks on end…)

    It could also be that it was a WP Multisite, which does not work with this plugin. It stalls about 50% down the road (on a generation of some 100 to 150 pages).

    But if you can set up a local WordPress that won’t face the same scrutiny about resource usage a site at a provider would, then this might be your thing…

    Ah well…

    Thank you developer(s)/maintainer(s) of it!
