Great for static sites
I wanted to convert some WordPress sites to static versions to reduce resource use on shared hosting, and this plugin helped me achieve that.
It's well-developed, the tutorials and explanations are clear, and you can count they'll keep updating it.
The support is good too and the deal was better than what they normally charge for lifetime.

A very good plugin that is very much needed.
I'm using it with a couple of sites and so far so good. I haven't used the search but I am using forms. Specifically, I'm using the WSForms plugin and it's working flawlessly. Most WordPress sites should probably be using this plugin.

Native support for WSForms (and many others) is coming real soon (about two weeks from now!)

Good potential, needs more docs and attention
I've experimented with this tool on my Elementor Pro website and found it generally quite effective. While the documentation could be more comprehensive, my developer background helped me troubleshoot form functionality.
It would be ideal if the GitHub export were faster and pushed incremental page changes rather than the entire website. Additionally, eliminating those pesky console errors would enhance the generated static HTML site.
Overall, I find the product promising with clear potential for improvement.

You are 100% right about the docs right now!
We are super close to launching our new (dedicated) documentation website, which will also include tons of short video tutorials on how to set things up and improve the configuration.
Incremental Exports:
We have that available in the beta right now, and it will soon be released to all users.
If you want to test it, just hit...

Night and day difference
We just finished setting everything up and connecting to Bunny CDN. This is for a site which I was struggling. It has a pretty extensive "glossary" and it was taking 15-20 seconds just for the main glossary page to load. Then from there, it has a "tooltip" plugin which shows video previews of the glossary terms when the cursor hovers over the word. That "tooltip" used to take at least 5-10 seconds to load each word.
Now, everything loads in fractions of a second. So far very impressed!

Much needed for wordpress sites
i bought it for 2 reasons:
1. static sites are lightning fast -- of course, it doesn't have PHP, so no processing is needed. all the necessary components needed to display your website is ready to use. it's like... static site = ready made cake (you buy at the store), while accessing your wordpress site = baking the cake starting from powder in your home.
2. security -- because all of your wordpress backend is hidden somewhere else. gone are the days where you worry about cyber attack. bye-bye hackers trying to take over my site.
honestly, i had problems running it from localwp. But no problem at all if my wordpress site is hosted in a hosting company. So, that's all good. This is a much needed plugin for whoever own a wordpress site.
