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.

Nice plugin. one drawback
There plugin doesn't clean up whenever content changes. Since the files clutter the root directory you have to be carefull to remove the correct files
I moved the 'Joomla base dir' to the cache dir and added to the .htaccess before the joomla section:
RewriteCond PATH/cache/%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule (.*) PATH/cache/$1 [L]
now it's a rm -rf cache :)

Really useful skills! Thanks.
This is a great plugin. If your J1.5 website seldom modify articles, this plugin can generate Static HTML pages for your articles and make your website faster.
Thanks to the author Joe.

... very useful, but it's a pity that it doesn't work on windows based systems. Also using it with sh404SEF doesn't work because there is not .html extension at end...
Other than this, it's a good idea, i hope that it could be enhaced in a future.

Now, it works in windows, please check!
It is not really need .html extension, if you don't have .html extensions, pleasee add
DefaultType text/html
to .htaccess
It works like a treat.
Just a quick tip for those who'd like to have all of their site in static (i.e. not just articles) just take out line 40 from contentstatic.php
It's the part that reads "if ((JRequest :: getVar('view')) != 'article'){ return;}"

I was very surprised, after I installed this plugin, to see a visible increase in speed of my site. To be honest first I just installed this plugin without much hopes, just for testing,but now, without doubt, my site is much faster.Until now I've never saw a problem with this extension.Thank you for this excellent plugin.
