## What it is
WP2Static is a WordPress plugin that generates a static copy of a WordPress site and deploys it to static hosting. It improves security, performance, and hosting cost by serving pre-built HTML instead of running dynamic PHP.

## Use cases
- convert my wordpress site to a static site
- deploy wordpress content to static hosting
- reduce wordpress hosting costs by going static
- improve wordpress site security by removing dynamic php
- publish wordpress as a headless static site

## When to choose
- you run a WordPress site whose content changes infrequently and want static output
- you want to keep authoring in WordPress but serve from cheap static hosting or a CDN

## When to avoid
- your site relies heavily on dynamic features like user logins, forms, or WooCommerce
- you need real-time content updates without a rebuild step

- function: static-site-generator, deployment, security, plugin-system
- domain: web-development, cms, self-hosted, performance
