Static WordPress, Security, and Scaling

In WP Legends Episode 121, Patrick Posner, Founder and CEO of Simply Static, explains how static WordPress is changing the way developers and agencies think about website performance, security, and scalability.

Instead of serving websites dynamically, Simply Static converts WordPress sites into static files that can be distributed globally. This approach improves speed, reduces common security risks, and simplifies maintenance while still using WordPress as the CMS.

Patrick also shares how the idea behind Simply Static started, how static WordPress can handle massive traffic, and why more developers and agencies are adopting this architecture.
