Parkstatic

Description

Parkstatic lets you serve a fast, static front-end from your WordPress domain while keeping the WordPress dashboard fully intact. Your plugins, admin screens, and existing workflows all keep working. Only the public front end is served statically. Requests to wp-admin, wp-login.php, the REST API, and other WordPress paths are always handled by WordPress.

This free version ships a bundled demo site so you can try the static front-end experience end to end without any external service:

• Switch the public front end between WordPress and a static Test site (the bundled demo) from the Deploy screen.
• Manage your site title, description, and favicon, and choose whether the live front end uses your WordPress values or the values baked into the static build.
• See those values injected into the served static page in real time.

What the Test site is for

The Test site is a small static page bundled inside the plugin. It is served read-only from the plugin so you can preview exactly how static front-end mode behaves: how the switch works, and how your Site identity and Site metadata settings are applied to a served static page. It never overwrites or deletes your WordPress content. Switching back to WordPress mode restores your normal theme instantly.

Parkstatic Premium

Parkstatic Premium extends Parkstatic into a complete static-site platform. It automatically builds and deploys your own prebuilt static site (for example a Vite or React app) straight from GitHub, and adds multi-page publishing, custom Open Graph fields, and a configurable Content Security Policy. Premium is a separate paid product available from the Parkstatic website and is not part of this WordPress.org plugin; this free plugin is fully functional on its own, and Premium simply adds deployment of your real site.

Privacy

This free version does not contact any external servers on its own. It works entirely on your site. The only optional external connection is Freemius, and only if you choose to connect an account or purchase Parkstatic Premium. See External services below.

External services

This free version does not call any external service to provide its functionality. The bundled demo is served locally and your metadata is stored in your own WordPress database.

Freemius (https://freemius.com)

Used only for optional account connection and to purchase or manage Parkstatic Premium. If – and only if – you choose to connect an account or buy a plan, the plugin connects to Freemius and may send your site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, and administrator email. Freemius processes that data under its own policies. All features of this free plugin work whether or not you connect Freemius.
