Q: Hello Patrick, Still have some Simplystatic Plugin Noob Questions here 😜 Simplystatic is created for ...

change an existing dynamic WP Site in a Static Site.

1.Is there any Difference in Speed when i start a complete new WP Site
and create all of my Sites ( with my content ) as a regular Page ( not as Posts ) ?

or is it better to create a “regular” dynamic WP Site and convert it later ?

2. When a WP Site is converted in a Static Site and i have some content changes
where i do it ? on the hide orginal WP Site or on the fresh Static WP Site ?

example, i want add an Table Plugin with Data and API

or is there a sync modus, when i change the content on my old hide WP Site
automatic change that on my new Static Site?

or i have to convert it again when some of my content is changed?

how works that generally ?

have you any Scenario Docs or a Tutorial ?

A: I'm happy to clarify that for you!

1) You generally start by building your website in WordPress and then converting it to static with Simply Static.
The "type" of your content doesn't really matter in terms of performance: use posts, pages, events - whatever you need for your website!

2) You do it in WordPress and then push the updates to your static site via Simply Static.

We have different ways of keeping your static site updated (full export, single export, build export, and soon incremental exports), you can learn about the differences in our documentation here: https://simplystatic.com/docs/how-to-update-content-on-your-static-website/

However, none of these changes sync automatically; you always push from WordPress to your static site.
You can, however, automate some parts of the process (auto-exporting new posts after they are published, for example).

> How about the Data from the WPdatatable with API which i use on my old dynamic WP Site?

I think that depends a bit on the API used within the plugin - an external one should work, but if you actively rely on WP data, you might want to replace pages containing the shortcode with an embedded iFrame instead.

> When I use your integration to Bunny.net, must I also run ( export ) both Versions of WP ( dynamic and static Site )?

No, you edit your content in WP (as usual) and click the button in Simply Static - we handle all the updates on BunnyCDN for you.
