What Are Static Sites?

Many publishers are converting their WordPress sites to a static version and enjoying faster speeds. Sites with massive amounts of traffic can serve webpages all day with little stress on the server.

I used to create static affiliate sites back in the early days, some of which went viral and received massive amounts of traffic with zero downtime, no crashes.

Static sites also enjoy better security because vulnerabilities hidden in plugins or themes no longer exist on static sites.

An important quality of static sites is that they require little to virtually no maintenance.
