On: Static Site Generators

Both Drupal and Wordpress have modules/plugins that produce static pages:

* Drupal: https://drupal.org/project/boost

* Wordpress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/

They're both quite mature and the standard practice for websites that get a lot of anonymous traffic using their respective CMSes.

An alternative (or supplement) to them would be something like Varnish: https://www.varnish-cache.org

There is also a WordPress plugin for generating static pages to upload later, but it's got a lot of gotchas and doesn't seem to have been updated recently. I'm using on my site.
