Leon Stafford: WordPress As A Static Site Generator

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.

Its kinda funny when you realize that back in the day the way we create sites are often done stattically especially small sites. The we decided to make everything dynamic including content editing online hence the popularity of wordpress came about... then it comes full circle as more more sites these days are going the old school way and and being deployed statically.
