Shifter is a static site generator and serverless hosting service for WordPress.
How Shifter Works
It works by running WordPress in a temporary environment so you can edit and update your site.
- Temporary WordPress Environment: Shifter launches a temporary WordPress environment for editing and updating content.
- Static Site Generation: When you’re ready to deploy your changes, Shifter generates a static version of your site.
- Static Site Deployment: The generated static version is deployed.
Security and Performance
Only users with access to the Shifter dashboard can view the PHP version of the WordPress site; site visitors see the static HTML version.
- Security: Your WordPress installation remains secure and inaccessible to unauthorized users.
- Performance: The static site version delivers incredible speed and scalability.
