Plugin worked really well and the support, when it was needed, was excellent. We
had quite a complex site built with the Divi builder and adding Make Me Static was
awesome. It delivered a massive reduction in security headaches and an unreal improvement
in performance.

### 󠀁[Simply amazing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simply-amazing-244/)󠁿

This plugin is really amazing when compared to other plugins, since it lets you 
automate most of the stuff that would otherwise need to be done manually. The best
thing is that once you setup your GitLab account, it will be synced to it and published
to the domain for your static that you assign via your DNS register. So you can 
have site a.mysite.com as a WP website, and then push the static files to git repo
which would then resolve to mysite.com, thus making sure you have static website
on the front for the visitors. The best thing is that after the first sync there
are incremental updates, so you don't need to sync everything again. In case you
use any caching on server side, like Varnish, you may need to tweak it in case it
prevents loading of the plugin page. I have installed the plugin on my website, 
and will be installing it for my organization too. The author is very responsive
to support requests and I am looking forward towards GitHub integration.

### 󠀁[A whole new ball-game](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-whole-new-ball-game/)󠁿

I've had performance problems with WP for as long as I can remember, and security
worries, and availability worries. I finally have a setup where I can make a bunch
of changes to the site and click on "Sync", and within a minute the static version
is "live" with the changes. To be fair it takes a little bit of doing to get set
up in the first place, but the end result is worth the effort.
