# Parkstatic

> Parkstatic hosts your static site on the WordPress hosting you already pay for. A WordPress plugin and GitHub Action pre-render every page for SEO and deploy it to your WordPress on every git push.

Parkstatic closes the gap between modern front-end tooling (Vite, React, Vue, Lovable, TanStack Start, Remix, React Router, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Next.js static exports) and WordPress hosting you already pay for. Build in GitHub, push to `main`, and Parkstatic pre-renders every page and serves the build from your WordPress domain — no second hosting bill.

The product has three parts:

- **WordPress plugin** — onboarding, license activation, metadata (title, description, favicon, Open Graph), and serving the deployed static files from your domain.
- **GitHub Action** (`ParkStatic/action`) — builds your project in CI and uploads the static artifact to Parkstatic's deploy endpoint.
- **Hosted deploy relay** — authenticates uploads with a per-site `PARKSTATIC_SECRET` token generated in the plugin. Your source code stays in GitHub; Parkstatic only receives the finished build.

**Parkstatic Premium pricing:** $29.99/year or $89.99 lifetime per WordPress site (one license = one site). Checkout and billing are handled by Freemius.

**Supported stacks:** Any project that builds to static — React, Vue, Lovable, TanStack Start, Remix, React Router, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, and Next.js static exports. Single-page and multi-page sites; SSR and TanStack Start are supported with prerendering.

## Key facts

- **What it does:** Hosts static and pre-rendered sites on the WordPress hosting you already pay for, using GitHub Actions — no FTP, no manual uploads, no second hosting bill.
- **What it does not do:** Parkstatic is not a hosting provider. It does not replace your WordPress hosting — it serves your static build from the WordPress hosting you already own.
- **Who it is for:** Developers and no-code builders (Lovable users, React devs, Vue devs) who already pay for WordPress hosting and want to reuse it for a modern site.
- **What you need:** A self-hosted WordPress site, a static-build project on GitHub, and a Parkstatic Premium license.
- **Price:** $29.99/year or $89.99 one-time lifetime per WordPress site. One license = one site.
- **Refund policy:** 7-day refund for unusable defects. Handled by Freemius.
- **SEO:** Every page is pre-rendered to static HTML on each deploy, so search engines index full content without JavaScript execution.
- **GitHub Action:** `ParkStatic/action` — runs in CI, builds your project, uploads the static artifact to the deploy relay.
- **Secret token:** `PARKSTATIC_SECRET` — a per-site token generated by the plugin and stored as a GitHub Actions repository secret.
- **Frameworks:** React, Vue, TanStack Start, Remix, React Router, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Next.js static exports, Lovable exports, or any build that produces a static output directory.
- **Deployment trigger:** Every `git push` to `main` triggers a new build and deploy automatically.
- **License management:** Via Freemius customer portal. Licenses can be transferred between WordPress sites.

## Frequently asked questions

**Q: How does Parkstatic work?**
A: You install the Parkstatic WordPress plugin, generate a `PARKSTATIC_SECRET` token inside it, add that token as a GitHub Actions secret in your repo, and drop a `deploy.yml` workflow file that uses `ParkStatic/action`. After that, every push to `main` automatically builds your project and deploys the pre-rendered output to your WordPress site.

**Q: How much does Parkstatic cost?**
A: Parkstatic Premium costs $29.99/year or $89.99 as a one-time lifetime payment. One license covers one WordPress site.

**Q: Does Parkstatic work with Lovable?**
A: Yes. Lovable exports are Vite-based. The get-started onboarding includes a dedicated flow for Lovable projects that uses Lovable's built-in "Save to GitHub" integration. After that, every save in Lovable pushes to GitHub and triggers an automatic deploy.

**Q: Do I need separate hosting if I use Parkstatic?**
A: No. Parkstatic deploys to the WordPress hosting you already pay for. There is no second hosting bill.

**Q: What is the difference between Parkstatic and Vercel or Netlify?**
A: Vercel and Netlify are dedicated hosting platforms with their own infrastructure. Parkstatic is not a hosting platform — it deploys your site to your existing WordPress hosting. If you already pay for WordPress hosting, Parkstatic lets you reuse it instead of adding a separate Vercel or Netlify subscription.

**Q: What is the difference between Parkstatic and Lovable Hosting?**
A: Lovable Hosting is a managed hosting service built into the Lovable platform, typically costing $20–25/month. Parkstatic routes your Lovable export through GitHub Actions and deploys it to WordPress hosting you already own, typically saving $200–270/year.

**Q: Does Parkstatic support multi-page sites?**
A: Yes. Parkstatic pre-renders every page of your site — whether you have one page or hundreds. Each page gets its own static HTML file for search engines.

**Q: Does Parkstatic support SSR (server-side rendering)?**
A: Yes. TanStack Start projects with SSR are supported. Parkstatic pre-renders pages at deploy time.

**Q: How long does setup take?**
A: About 10 minutes. The plugin includes a built-in onboarding wizard that guides you through each step.

**Q: Where is my source code stored?**
A: Your source code stays in your GitHub repository. Parkstatic's deploy relay only receives the finished build artifact — it never has access to your source.
