I would like to share my experience in converting my WordPress based blog to a static site. I’ve been paying WordPress hosting fees for years. WordPress is a great blogging platform with an amazing plugin ecosystem. But that same ecosystem that makes it so attractive, also leads to WordPress sites slowing down. Each plugin you add to your site typically adds additional database requests to each page that’s rendered for you site visitors. Which means you need a decent server hosting your WordPress site if you want it to stay snappy.
