Convert your dynamic WordPress site into ultra-fast static HTML files. Reduce server load and improve SEO instantly.

== Description ==

**Static Porter** is a high-performance static site generator designed for speed and simplicity. It crawls your website and converts your database-driven pages into flat HTML files, allowing your server to bypass PHP and MySQL entirely for lightning-fast load times.

Unlike traditional caching plugins, Static Porter generates a physical directory of your site. When a visitor arrives, your server serves the pre-built HTML file instantly.

### Key Features:
* **One-Click Full Crawl:** Easily generate a static version of your entire site.
* **Smart Refresh:** Automatically updates the static home page and post pages when you hit publish.
* **Persistent Cache Table:** Monitor exactly which files are cached with individual 'Delete' and 'Recrawl' controls.
* **Advanced Optimization:** Built-in HTML Minification and Gzip compression support.
* **Security & Caching:** Automatically configures .htaccess with security headers and browser caching rules.
* **Lightweight & Fast:** Designed to be resource-efficient with a built-in "Stop Crawl" safety feature.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `static-porter` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Go to the 'Static Porter' menu in your sidebar.
4. Configure your excluded paths and click 'Start Full Crawl'.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this work with WooCommerce? =
It is recommended to exclude checkout, cart, and account pages using the "Excluded Paths" setting to ensure dynamic functionality remains intact.

= How do I know if it's working? =
Enable the "HTML Attribution" setting. View your website's source code, and you will see a comment at the top confirming the page is being served as static HTML.
