Free tool

WordPress to
static site.

Find out how easily your WordPress site becomes plain HTML on Netlify: faster, nothing to patch, next to nothing to host. Then copy a prompt that has your coding agent do the rebuild.

For sites you own or manage. We read public pages only, the way a search engine does, and store nothing.


Why bother

Most WordPress sites are brochures with a server attached.

Fast by default

Plain HTML from a global CDN. No PHP, no database queries, no plugin stack loading on every visit.

Nothing to patch

No admin login, no plugins, no PHP version to keep up with. Scanners hitting wp-login.php find nothing.

Next to nothing to host

Netlify's free tier covers most small business sites, forms included. No more hosting plan.


The diagnosis

What decides whether it goes static.

Shops and member areas

WooCommerce, memberships, courses and forums need accounts and a database. These are the real blockers.

Forms

Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms and the rest. Rebuilt as Netlify Forms, with no server needed.

Comments, search and bookings

Each one has a static replacement, or a hosted widget that keeps working as it is.

Theme and page builder

Elementor, Divi and WPBakery markup is rebuilt clean rather than copied. It takes longer, and the result is far lighter.

Size

Pages and posts, from the REST API and the sitemap. Large sites get generated from templates rather than built by hand.

Colours and fonts

Pulled from the theme and builder CSS, so the prompt starts from your real design tokens.


The output

One folder, ready for Netlify.

Your original copy, word for word. Your images, converted to WebP. Your colours and fonts as CSS variables. Your old URLs kept working through Netlify redirects, so search rankings carry over.
