<p>Static Web Publisher adds a small block of JSON metadata to each post and page. This metadata allows compatible apps and browser extensions to generate reader-friendly, static representations of your content — versions that can visually highlight connections to other pages across the Web.</p>
<p>Visitors without supporting software will see your site exactly as before. Nothing about its appearance or behavior changes for regular users.</p>
<p>The Static Web is a new approach to building a more interconnected Web. You can learn more about it <a href="reinventingtheweb.com" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>
<h4>Background</h4>
<p>This project is inspired by the long-standing ideas of hypertext pioneer Ted Nelson.</p>
<h4>Current support</h4>
<p>The new formats (HDOCs) this plugin works with are currently supported by:</p>
<p><a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/visible-connections/hlckcdbgknflkkciojgdbhomdnegimbm" rel="nofollow ugc">Visible Connections</a><br />
 — a Chrome extension that shows visible connections between web pages in your browser,</p>
<p><a href="https://reinventingtheweb.com/download" rel="nofollow ugc">LZ Desktop</a><br />
 — a standalone app for exploring and creating Web 1.1 content.</p>
<h4>Looking ahead</h4>
<p>More apps — especially reader apps, and eventually browsers — will be able to support Static Web data formats in the future.</p>


Static Web Publisher

Support visible connections between web pages by making your site part of the emerging Static Web (Web 1.1) ecosystem.

Export WP Pages to HTML & PDF – Simply Create a Static Website

I needed to export a WordPress site for offline use and started looking for a plugin that would help with that. This one popped up and I tried it out as the first option. Ultimately I upgraded to Pro and was able to get my whole site downloaded. Really great plugin, I'll use it again if I need to replicate taking a site offline. 

Incredibly useful


If you want to make a true HTML version, this plugin does not do it.  When you create an HTML version it keeps all images and scripts on the WordPress site to be pulled to the static site thus slowing it down.  There is no way, even in the Pro version to export all resources with a new URL for easy upload to a server to display.  I am trying another plugin called Simply Static that seems to be working.
