Generate a static website.
Download ZIP file and copy it into your system/extensions folder. Learn more about extensions.
You can generate a static website at the command line. The static site generator makes the entire website in advance, instead of waiting for a file to be requested. Open a terminal window. Go to your installation folder, where the file yellow.php is. Type php yellow.php generate, you can optionally add a folder and a location. This will generate a static website in the public folder. Upload the static website to your web server and generate a new one when needed. To clean the static website type: php yellow.php clean.
If you don't want that a page is generated, set Generate: exclude in the page settings at the top of a page.
You can generate a static cache at the command line. The static cache supports a normal website by generating some files in advance and storing them in the file system. You can also think of it as combining the features of a static website and the features of a normal website. Open a terminal window. Go to your installation folder, where the file yellow.php is. Type php yellow.php generate system/cache, you can optionally add a location. Generate a new cache when needed. To clean the cache type: php yellow.php clean system/cache.
If you don't want that a page is cached, set Generate: exclude in the page settings at the top of a page.
