This module generates a static HTML copy of your Drupal website, including all assets like JavaScript, CSS, and images. This allows for a high-performance, secure, and reliable public-facing website that runs without PHP or a database.
This module is a continuation of the Drupal 7 Static Generator module ("static"). Since static is a reserved word in PHP, the project has been renamed "static_generator".
This module generates a complete copy of your website in html form including all js, css, images and other assets. Typically, the Drupal website is behind a firewall, and the generated files are transferred, using rsync, to a public facing website running a just a web server without PHP, MySQL or memcache.
Benefits
Performance - No PHP, Mysql, etc on public facing site. Everything is a static file so it is served very quickly.
Security - The static version of the site does not have a database, user accounts or any other form of user interaction (except 3rd party integrations) so it is much more secure.
Reliability - Most of the usual failure points are gone. PHP, MySQL, memcache, varnish, etc are no longer part of the static site.
Documentation
The full documentation is located in the README.md file included with the module's code.
