<b>Static export vs keeping the builder live</b>
For brochure sites, you can build in a builder and ship the result static, dodging the runtime entirely.

— Tools like Simply Static export the rendered builder output to flat HTML, no PHP, no DB at runtime.
— You lose dynamic forms and live content, but the builder's runtime JS often gets stripped too.
— Works with Elementor, Bricks, or Gutenberg since the output is just HTML/CSS after render.

<b>Pros:</b> near-instant TTFB, tiny attack surface, the builder bloat that doesn't render is gone.
<b>Cons:</b> no dynamic features, rebuild-and-export on every edit, forms need a third-party endpoint.

<b>Best for:</b> low-change marketing and landing sites where you want builder convenience without builder runtime weight.
