The Content Static plugin allows you to do just that by letting you to make your site static. Making an article's content static, saves the need for costly SQL resources to load pages from a database.
A similar benefit is present when loading a significant number of modules and plugins. By making your webpage static, you and your users can simply access the static page by pointing or typing the page's url.
How Does Content Static Work? Content Static generates the static content upon initial access of an article, from then on, the page will essentially have nothing to do with Joomla, and would behave just like any other html page.

V1.0.2 Fix a bug, it now works ok under windows. If you like the plugin, please let me know!
V1.1
Add a version for Joomla1.6 and Joomla1.7
It's a very nice plugin , but I wonder where's the cache folder of the generated pages ?!
Hi, everything worked perfect for me, except for the pagination. When I click on the link for page 2,3,4 it goes to the first page. My articles end with .html and the pages for that article with html?start=1, html?start=2 and so on.
I believe I need to insert some command in the .htaccess but I don't know what. Any ideas?

Add the following code to .htacess, it will solve the pagination problem.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !(start=([0-9]+))$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/contentstatic/%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule (.*) /contentstatic/$1 [L]
I've installed this plugin. A member of InMotion's tech support adviced me to do that to manage caching. Result: all the images at the articles are gone. We cannot see any images at articles even after unistalling the plugin. We are running a Joomla site 1.5 with native sef urls. I'm pretty sure that I will double check any advice from tech support people in future.
After installation my high traffic website really gets faster. But the static content was giving some problems with our articles. That wasn't caused by this plugin. But after deinstalling it and deleting the cache files, all kind of trouble with broken and relative links came up. The documentation on the suppliers website is very poor and there is no forum. I found something about the problem in another forum, but that didn't help...
Now we have to setup our site from fresh start or we have to change all the relative links to absolute links (what isn't good for the speed of the site).
So if you are running a low traffic website it might work for you, but I would not try it if you're having a site with a lot of traffic and articles.

The plugin was a hidden gem.
I closed my eyes, installed, and most of everything works almost out of the box.
The cache directory should be pointed to by the plugin, and 2 lines of code need to be copy and paste onto the htcass-something file, via FTP or file manager.
[Seriously, I just copy and paste and got a great working plugin ahhah:D]
The simple but detailed directions with where to add the 2 lines of codes could be found here

This is just what I needed. After having my site suspended for using too much resources on a shared environment, I found Content Static. My host recommended turing pages that aren't frequently updated into static pages, which would reduce the load on the server and reduce the number of prints and calls to the database.
Great! Content Static does just that. Installation and enabling took seconds... and then I noticed immediate results. Dropped my page loading size to half and increased my YSlow Score from E to B.
Awesome plugin! If you have a medium to large Joomla! site, this little gem is a MUST HAVE!
To the developers: Job well done!

I don't like to write bad reviews but i feel i have to warn people of this extension cause if i had of seen the warning i wouldn't have installed this. Installed this on my server last night, then woke up in the morning and couldn't access pages and links everything was broken. Then i looked in my /public_html on my server (root) where i like to have everything tidy, and noticed it created folders and files all over the place (not just a few) but everywhere. I was under the impression this would just play around with my Articles but it messed around with everything, sh404sef, HWD, JoomGallery. Any component it could it's hands on. This Plugin should come with a warning, cause it took me a while to figure out this was the problem.
I would rather not rate this, wish there was an undecided vote thing, but since i'm nice i'll give it a 3 star.
Be warned when you install this it will create folders and files all over the place in your root directory, which is a bad thing.

I used for about few weeks the plugin was so perfect, but i noticed when my site was viewed by a visitor using IE6 and the cache version shows up even when i use firefox and chrome, and the page was half loaded even when i reload it again and again, so unfortunately i had to uninstall the plugin and remove the .htaccess lines but still the page is same and where are the genarated html files are stored??
Plugin ruined my site. Even after I uninstalled the plugin and removed the lines from the .htaccess file the site was behaving as if the plugin was still active. I even clear out the cache but accessing pages on the site still was trying to access the cached version. Backup your site completely before you attempt to install this plugin.

Please remove the generated html files, it should work fine.
A must have extension.
Reduced my site's load speed to about 1/4 previous time. Installed and operates without bugs on J1.59 with SEF Advance and a wide variety of extensions.
