Bricks Static Pro
Bricks Static Pro is the premium add-on for the free Bricks Static plugin (required and must remain active). Together they generate static HTML from your Bricks site and deploy via SFTP/FTP/FTPS—no live CMS or database needed. Pro adds unlimited pages/destinations, advanced replacements, gzip compression, remote pruning, sitemap generation, license activation, updates, and priority support.
Bricks Static Pro
Turn your Bricks site into a fast, low-maintenance static site — at any scale. Bricks Static renders the pages you build with Bricks to plain HTML and deploys them to any SFTP/FTP host, so the live site runs no WordPress, no CMS and no database. Pro removes the free limits and adds the advanced tooling real projects need.
Requires the free Bricks Static plugin. Pro is an add-on — install and activate the free Bricks Static plugin first, then activate Pro with your license key. With both active you get the complete toolset below.
Generate & deploy (core)
- Static generation — renders each page through a real request and captures the final HTML (works with anything Bricks/your theme outputs).
- Page discovery — crawl linked pages only, or include every published post and archive; sitemap-aware.
- Portable output — collects CSS, JS, images and fonts and rewrites URLs to be root-relative, so the copy works on any domain.
- Delta deploys — only changed files are uploaded.
- SFTP, FTP & explicit-FTPS — credentials encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM); SFTP host keys verified (trust-on-first-use).
- Per-file or fast package deploy — zip the changes + a one-shot helper, upload once, extract server-side; falls back to per-file automatically.
- Server config — a managed
.htaccessis uploaded, with an equivalent nginx snippet to paste. - Favicon shipped from your real favicon, the Site Icon, or a generated default.
- “Sync this page” button on the front end and inside the Bricks editor for single-page pushes.
- WP-CLI command for reliable syncs on any host.
- Text replacements per destination.
Unlocked by Pro
- Unlimited pages per sync (the free plugin renders up to 10).
- Unlimited destinations with “sync all” — publish the same build to staging, production, CDN origins and more (free is one destination).
- Advanced replacements — swap Media (images/videos, with responsive variants rebuilt), rewrite Links and Video embeds, and change data-* attribute values, per destination.
- Gzip pre-compression — ships
.gzsiblings plus the matching server rules for faster delivery. - Remote pruning — automatically removes files that no longer exist locally.
- Sitemap.xml & robots.txt — generated and rewritten to each destination’s domain.
- License activation, automatic updates & priority support.
Why static?
- Fast. Flat HTML with no PHP or database to execute — pages serve instantly, even on cheap hosting.
- Secure by design. The public site has no WordPress, no CMS and no database — a dramatically smaller attack surface.
- Cheap & resilient. Host anywhere that serves files; there’s no plugin stack to patch on the live site.
