4 points by vithalreddy ↗ HN
Currently, I use wordpress but it is very slow, I was looking for alternative, one is ghost. I don't want to use dynamic blogging platforms, Is there a way to produce static site from wordpress or Ghost or any other better solution?

For Wordpress there is the Simply Static plugin, and I think similar others.

There is also a productized version of the "Wordpress to a static site" idea - https://hardypress.com/ I'm using it and no complaints.

Ghost supports a wide range of static site generators out of the box. Check out "Frontend Frameworks" - https://ghost.org/docs/api/v3/ where you can select from Next.js, Gatsby and many more ;)

There are a number of ways you can create static from wordPress. You can check out https://www.strattic.com as one example. Strattic hosts your original WP site in a container that shuts down when you are not editing your site, and publishes a completely static version of your site in one click.
