Friendly reminder to anyone who cares enough that you can still use WordPress to make your site with all your fancy plugins and layouts, and then export that to a static site for hosting. No need to actually host Wordpress itself that way you avoid nearly all of this BS.

Not a bad idea. How would one do this?

Simply Static is currently the most actively maintained solution, as a plugin for wp:

There is also WP2Static, which is a very long standing project: https://github.com/elementor/wp2static

this thing here. I've dramatically reduced support work at two shops I've set this up for. incidents went from from coupla times a month to once a year. not to mention - you don't need no VPS no more, don't need no database, nothing, the simplest web hosting will do and it's very cache friendly.
