Should i convert my WP site to HTML?

Dolan said:

I run a static WordPress site which is incredibly speedy. I currently host it on AWS S3 bucket and CloudFront and has a load speed of 500ms. It also costs me 0.60 cents a month to run since I'm only paying for bandwidth and no CPUs, RAM etc.
If you want to make your own, install XAMPP server on your PC then you can setup a WordPress site via localhost, you then install this plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/) and it will make a copy and convert everything to HTML, then you drag and drop onto your FTP server.
To make any changes you update the localhost version, convert to HTML again and just upload to your server again.

Could you make a detailed thread on this??? I would really appreciate more information on this

Wordpress: + easy to update, professional templates, incredibly powerful, full control and ownership, - learning curve, maintenance
static HTML: + minimal maintenance, low requirments, - no updates, no additional features, costs
Which features and benefits are more important to you. If its just the speed you're concerned about check your options in terms of optimization. Having a good host and solid framework are some of the first things to be sure of. You can also adjust gravatar images, add lazyload to your images, disable hotlinking, turn off pingbacks. If you are not a HTML wiz try the optimazation techniques in WP first. Good Luck to you.
