Question about dev server

Hi @imaginemonkey,

Good question and something I need to better address in the docs.

If you’ll never update the static site again, you can (backup and) kill the dev server, there is no dependency on the dev server from the static site.

If it’s infrequently updated, you may be suited to clone the dev site to your local computer, from which you can continue to publish updated static sites when changes are required.

The most common workflow for people is to keep a dev server running for site changes, publishing new versions of the static site as required.

The guides on this page help explain some of the preparation and continued workflow:

Thanks for your response. That’s great to know. And have you had any experience with how your plugin interacts with page builders? Do you see conflicts often?

Hi @imaginemonkey,

It’s generally fine with pagebuilders.

If there are issues with missing assets or font-files, etc, it can often be remedied by using the Autoptimize plugin, to combine or localize such assets automatically.

I know there is an issue when using Elementor’s native form widget, for which I have a yet to be released fix for (hopefully inline with version 7 upcoming release). Else, can use other static site friendly form options.

Cheers,

Leon
