True, thanks for the link. Shame that author uses Wordpress. I'd advice him to use a static page generator for the future.

I use Wordpress, too, because I'm more interested in publishing content than in dinking around endlessly with the latest fad in content management tooling.

To be fair, static blog generators have been around for years, and their use is hardly a fad, considering the number of blogs that people host on github etc.

It hasn't caught on as much among non-tech types, but it's certainly not a fad, and the solutions are mature, usable and open source. I can understand wanting various features that only a dynamic blog offers (like commenting without Javascript), and I run such a blog myself.

There are tools for that as well. Staticman for example.

Wordpress is still essentially the status quo outside of technical circles and for non-technical people I'd recommend it over most other static site generators.

There's a whole pile of caching plugins for it, too. I can't speak to their relative quality, though; I just stuck Cloudflare in front of my site and called it a day. Perhaps I will come to regret that.

Using Wordpress to generate a static site is a useful thing, too. Improves both the security and the speed.
