We’re big fans of the MigrateGuru plugin! All you need to do is add the plugin to your original site, spin up your WordPress site in the Strattic Dashboard, and enter your Strattic credentials into MigrateGuru.
Check out our step by step documentation on how to migrate your WordPress sites to Strattic.

Strattic offers all the advantages of headless approaches, but due to our unique approach, users can still use WordPress as usual, along with popular plugins, while also supporting functionality that doesn’t work seamlessly on headless.
There’s more to it than that, and that’s why we’ve put together this handy table for you that compares the pros and cons of Strattic vs conventional headless solutions. Read more.
The main differences between Strattic and standard hosting can be broken down into three categories: security, speed, and scalability.
Static site generator tools like Gatsby, Hugo and Jekyll have a good end product – a static site. But they are missing all the benefits of WordPress – a system that makes it a pleasure to add and edit new content, and a massive WordPress ecosystem to help you along the way.
Static site generator plugins (like Simply Static and WP Static Site Generator) will help you create a static site, but they don’t take into consideration all the functionality that’s included out-of-the-box with Strattic.
Strattic provides you with a staging site, where you can edit your WordPress site like you always have.
Of course! You can continue adding plugins and themes to your site like you always have. If you’d like more details on what to keep in mind for a static site, you can check out our compatibility list here
In order to deploy a code repository on Strattic, we recommend using a tool like DeployHQ. This allows for the repository to be deployed via SFTP. Tools like DeployHQ track your commits and run a script to move your code from the repository to the server. You can check out our step by step tutorial here.
You can use SFTP to gain access to your staging site’s server where your WordPress website sits.
You can access your SFTP information from within your Strattic dashboard. Simply login and click on the name of your site, and then click on “Details”.
A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a way to serve your site’s static assets (images, CSS, Javascript) from a location closest to your user so that the site loads faster.
Because Strattic serves a static version of your site, your whole site is served via the CDN, not just the assets.
Strattic customers usually see an improvement in their Page Speed Insights (PSI) scores after migrating their websites.
However, the Page Speed Insights scoring system isn’t just based on speed. Waiting for blocking JavaScript and unoptimized images to load are common contributors to the scoring as well.
You bet it does!
When running a standard WordPress site, security is always something to keep in mind. The amount of tooling needed to ward off the malicious actors is time consuming, and the battle against hackers is unending: one slip or missed security patch can spell disaster.
But when visitors are accessing a static replica of the site, hackers have nothing to breach. All the layers of vulnerabilities found in a standard WordPress installation are nonexistent in its static counterpart. They can try to brute force their way in, but on a static architecture even that won’t impact the site’s performance, and it will hum along as usual.
With static WordPress, security concerns become a thing of the past, and instead of constantly worrying about updating plugins and software, you can focus on doing your job.
Nope! Because your site is more secure on Strattic, you don’t need to rush to upgrade your WordPress version or plugins. However, we do recommend upgrading as best practice for maintaining a healthy site.
Strattic’s architecture offers the highest level of security by disconnecting your live website from WordPress, thus eliminating vulnerabilities such as SQL injections (SQLi), and Cross-site Scripting (XSS). The world just sees the static site, with no underlying database. In addition, your WordPress site requires user authentication (HTTP Auth). Finally, while you are not editing your site, we shut down the WordPress site and database and take it offline.

Both yes and no. It depends on how you intend to use it. If you need the checkout/cart functionality, then the answer is no, we don’t support that yet. WooCommerce depends heavily on interactions with the database for its shopping cart, and therefore it won’t work out of the box on a static website. However, if you’re just using WooCommerce for the catalog functionality, then yes! That would work great on Strattic! There are also several static friendly ecommerce services, we have them listed in our static tools directory.
Nope, you can use any website builder you’d like, though we do happen to have an affinity for all things Elementor 😉
Yes! Strattic has native support for Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7 (CF7) and Elementor Forms.
More information about our support for these plugins can be found here. Other form solutions can also be found in our static tools directory.
Yes! Currently you’d need to use an external comment system like Disqus or other solutions listed in our static tools directory. Strattic has plans for supporting native WordPress comments in the future.
Yes! Strattic users get high-quality Algolia search out of the box. Alternatively, you could use an external service like Swiftype and others listed in our static tools directory.
That’s a yes! You will find that we support the majority of Elementors functionality. We even support Elementor forms! The only exception is modules that use Ajax or query parameters. To learn more, click here click here.
Yes! Ad services, such as Google AdSense, typically use JavaScript codes on your website to serve ads. This method is compatible with Strattic.
