A Strattic alternative

Strattic has closed. Your WordPress can still be static.

Strattic hosted static copies of WordPress sites until Elementor closed it; strattic.com now leads to Elementor's regular hosting. If your site went back to WordPress answering every visitor, MakeStatic makes it static again — from its address, without moving it and without a plugin.

By pressing the button you confirm the site is yours, or that you are allowed to copy it. We copy one page, keep it for 4 hours, and search engines never see it.

A copy that works, not just its HTML

Writing a site out as static HTML keeps what is in each page and the files it names. What a page asks for once it is open — the data a script fetches, a file another file loads, a redirect from an old address — is not among them, and that is where exported sites quietly stop working.

We keep every answer your site gave while its pages were opened, and give the same answer again: the same content, the same kind of file, the same redirect. That is why the copy behaves like your site instead of only looking like it — and why you can check it yourself, side by side, before you decide anything.

What is different here

Strattic ran your WordPress on its own platform and published a static copy of it. MakeStatic leaves your WordPress wherever it is now — at Elementor, at another host, anywhere — and copies the finished pages from outside. Nothing is moved and nothing is installed.

When you change something, you publish the copy again. Each publish is listed with the pages that were added, changed or removed.

Forms and search

A contact form or a newsletter sign-up is received by us when a visitor sends it, mailed to you and listed on your site's page. The search box answers from the text of your pages. Logins and comments cannot be files; they are listed for you after the first copy of the whole site.

Where something else is the better choice

If you want the static files yourself, to host on your own infrastructure, a WordPress plugin that exports them is the closer fit. MakeStatic hosts the copy and has no export.

Questions people ask

What happened to Strattic?
Elementor bought Strattic in 2022 and has since closed its static hosting; strattic.com now forwards to Elementor's regular hosting.
Do I have to move my WordPress again?
No. It stays where it is. We need its address, and nothing is installed in it.
