Your WordPress Site, at the speed of a file.
Cyclone Static generates a static HTML file for every page on your site and instructs Apache to serve those files directly — bypassing WordPress, PHP, and the database entirely for anonymous visitors. The result is page delivery as fast as your server hardware will allow.
Free tier caches up to 25 pages/posts. Pro starts at $99, one-time.
How It Works
Generate
Cyclone Static visits each page on your site via a background process, saves the fully-rendered HTML to disk, and keeps it current as you publish or update content.
Serve
Apache reads the static file directly and sends it to the visitor. WordPress, PHP, and the database are never involved. There is nothing to execute and nothing to attack.
Refresh
When you update a post or page, Cyclone Static queues it for regeneration automatically. CDN cache purges (Bunny.net, Cloudflare, KeyCDN) fire at the same time.
Built for sites that need to be fast and stay up
High-traffic content sites
If you run a site that gets traffic spikes — radio, news, events — static serving means a traffic surge hits a file server, not your database.
Administrators
A static file has no login form, no plugin endpoints, no query strings to exploit. The attack surface for anonymous traffic is effectively zero.
Agencies
One plugin, one-time fee per site, no monthly billing to manage. Cyclone Static Pro licenses don’t expire.

Licenses do not expire, and are portable from one single web site to another.
if you buy a license, then shut down that web site, you can reuse the license on another site.
