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.
Visitors without supporting software will see your site exactly as before. Nothing about its appearance or behavior changes for regular users.
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>.
<h4>Background</h4>
This project is inspired by the long-standing ideas of hypertext pioneer Ted Nelson.
<h4>Current support</h4>
The new formats (HDOCs) this plugin works with are currently supported by:
<a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/visible-connections/hlckcdbgknflkkciojgdbhomdnegimbm" rel="nofollow ugc">Visible Connections</a> 
 — a Chrome extension that shows visible connections between web pages in your browser,
<a href="https://reinventingtheweb.com/download" rel="nofollow ugc">LZ Desktop</a> 
 — a standalone app for exploring and creating Web 1.1 content.
<h4>Looking ahead</h4>
More apps — especially reader apps, and eventually browsers — will be able to support Static Web data formats in the future.

Static Web Publisher

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

Simple Page Cache is an extremely simple, super-fast page cache for WordPress. The plugin stores full HTML pages on disk for non-logged-in visitors. The cache is automatically cleared when content is updated, ensuring visitors always see fresh content. Ideal for small to medium-sized sites and webshops that want maximum speed without complex settings.
Main features: 
– Caching for non-logged-in users (GET requests only) 
– Path-based cache structure for nginx direct serving (<code>/host/path/index.html</code>) 
– Cache files are stored in <code>/wp-content/uploads/simple-page-cache/</code> 
– Drop-in (<code>advanced-cache.php</code>) for maximum speed before WordPress loads 
– Nginx configuration generation for direct cache serving 
– Automatic cache clearing when posts/pages are updated 
– E-commerce integration with intelligent cache clearing for: 
 – WooCommerce (orders, stock updates, product changes) 
 – Easy Digital Downloads (purchases, download updates) 
 – BigCommerce for WordPress (product updates) 
 – Generic e-commerce plugins (product post types) 
– Automatic detection of dynamic pages (cart, checkout, account, wishlist) for: 
 – WooCommerce 
 – BigCommerce for WordPress 
 – Easy Digital Downloads 
 – iThemes Exchange 
 – Jigoshop 
 – WP-Shop 
– Detected dynamic pages are automatically excluded from caching 
– Manual cache clearing via admin bar button 
– Nginx config regeneration via admin bar button 
– Performance comments in cached HTML files 
– No complex settings, no database writes
<h3>Nginx Configuration</h3>
For maximum performance, you can configure nginx to serve cached files directly without PHP processing:
<ol>
<li>Copy the nginx configuration from <code>/wp-content/uploads/simple-page-cache/nginx.conf</code></li>
<li>Add the configuration to your nginx server block for your domain</li>
<li>Test nginx configuration: <code>sudo nginx -t</code></li>
<li>Reload nginx: <code>sudo systemctl reload nginx</code></li>
</ol>
The nginx configuration includes: 
– Internal location block for serving cached files 
– Automatic cache bypass for logged-in users 
– Automatic cache bypass for requests with query strings 
– Debug headers to identify cache hits
Benefits of nginx direct serving: 
– Faster response times (no PHP processing) 
– Lower server load 
– Better scalability 
– Direct file serving from disk
<h3>How it works</h3>
<ul>
<li>For every non-logged-in visitor and every GET request, a static HTML file is created and served.</li>
<li>Path-based cache structure: Cache files are organized as <code>/host/path/index.html</code> for direct nginx serving.</li>
<li>Pages with characteristics of dynamic e-commerce pages (such as cart, checkout, account, wishlist) are automatically detected and excluded from caching. The plugin recognizes WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, iThemes Exchange, Jigoshop, and WP-Shop.</li>
<li>The list of excluded pages is automatically maintained in a file in the cache directory.</li>
<li>Automatic cache clearing: When posts or pages are updated, the plugin efficiently clears cache using the new path-based structure and scans for related content.</li>
<li>E-commerce integration: For WooCommerce, when orders are placed or product stock is updated, the plugin automatically clears cache for the affected products and related pages (categories, tags, shop pages, homepage).</li>
<li>Performance comments: Each cached HTML file includes a comment with timestamp and host information for debugging and transparency.</li>
<li>Nginx integration: Generated nginx configuration allows direct serving of cached files without PHP processing for maximum performance.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Clearing the cache</h3>
<ul>
<li>Click the “Clear Page Cache” button in the admin bar (visible to administrators only) to remove all cache files.</li>
<li>Click the “Regenerate nginx.conf” button in the admin bar to regenerate the nginx configuration file.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Deactivation</h3>
<ul>
<li>When deactivating the plugin:
<ul>
<li>The drop-in <code>advanced-cache.php</code> is removed.</li>
<li>The <code>define('WP_CACHE', true);</code> line (if placed by this plugin) is removed from <code>wp-config.php</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
