Static site generator for WordPress.

Overview

Reflect is a powerful application designed to enhance the performance and security of your WordPress site by transforming it into a static site. Using Reflect allows you to create and publish content via WordPress, while it manages the process of generating and serving static pages. This setup utilizes a decoupled architecture, where WordPress functions solely as a content authoring tool, completely separating the back-end from the front-end.

By hosting your Reflect static site on a different domain, you can significantly reduce risk and improve load times. This innovative approach minimizes the points of vulnerability, ensuring that your WordPress site's complexity does not compromise its security. With faster page loads and enhanced security features, Reflect is an excellent solution for anyone looking to streamline their WordPress experience.

Features

  • Enhanced Security: Reflect allows WordPress to function only as a content authoring tool, minimizing exposure to online threats by limiting direct access to the CMS.

  • Fast Page Loads: Serving static pages dramatically improves loading speeds compared to traditional WordPress sites that rely on server-side rendering.

  • Decoupled Architecture: This setup enables a clear separation between the back-end (WordPress) and the front-end (Reflect), enhancing performance and manageability.

  • No Database Vulnerability: The static nature of Reflect means there are no databases or user accounts on the front-end, reducing potential points of attack for hackers.

  • Easy Setup: Installation involves straightforward steps and requires minimal technical expertise, making it accessible for users of all skill levels.

  • Multiple Domain Capability: For maximum security, users can host the Reflect static site on a separate server and domain from their WordPress site.
