Simply amazing

By NickS2 on September 5, 2024

This plugin is really amazing when compared to other plugins, since it lets you automate most of the stuff that would otherwise need to be done manually. The best thing is that once you setup your GitLab account, it will be synced to it and published to the domain for your static that you assign via your DNS register. So you can have site a.mysite.com as a WP website, and then push the static files to git repo which would then resolve to mysite.com, thus making sure you have static website on the front for the visitors. The best thing is that after the first sync there are incremental updates, so you don't need to sync everything again. In case you use any caching on server side, like Varnish, you may need to tweak it in case it prevents loading of the plugin page. I have installed the plugin on my website, and will be installing it for my organization too. The author is very responsive to support requests and I am looking forward towards GitHub integration.

A whole new ball-game

By linuxhostmaster on September 2, 2024

I've had performance problems with WP for as long as I can remember, and security worries, and availability worries. I finally have a setup where I can make a bunch of changes to the site and click on "Sync", and within a minute the static version is "live" with the changes. To be fair it takes a little bit of doing to get set up in the first place, but the end result is worth the effort.
