WordPress As A Static Site Generator - Leon Stafford @ WordCamp Brisbane 2018

Leon, the Author of the WP Static Site Generator plugin is joining us to talk about static websites and the myriad of ways in which you can keep using WordPress as a great CMS but reap the rewards of static site hosting.

He’ll be covering a few questions such as What is a static website? and Why would I want a static website? along with covering some of the many different solutions including specialised hosting platforms, plugins, REST API powered websites and the old-fashioned manual methods.

Whether for security reasons, increased page load speeds or saving on hosting costs, you should come out with a better idea of the pros and cons of static website hosting for your WordPress powered site and a taste of the exciting world of static site generators in general.

I have tried it, have a question, if I write a new article in wordpress, then have to run this plugin to generate static files. But there are about 500 articles in my WP, so everytime to publish a new article it will cost much time to generate the whole site, and have to remove all old files on server and upload the whole new files again?
