Create a static version of your blog using WordPress, Gatsby and FlashDrive.io

complete tutorial and source https://blog.flashdrive.io/create-and-host-a-blog-using-gatsby-and-ghost-headless-cms/

At FlashDrive.io, we use every day and love modern, static frameworks like Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll, and others.

Gatsby, with its huge community and user base, is the first framework to have a complete build add-on developed on FlashDrive, and we love playing with Gatsby every day.

It's also great that Gatsby comes with a large set of plugins to connect with various CMS like WordPress, Ghost, etc.

In this post, we'll see why it's popular (and actually a good idea) to mix a dynamic CMS like WordPress with a static website generator like Gatsby.

The main advantage to this setup is that you will keep WordPress what it does best: providing a good CMS with a ton of features and integration. Then use Gatsby to deliver a static version of your content without any risk of a hacked plugin and the ability to handle massive traffic even on small configurations like Dev (or ideally Web) FlashDrive instances.

We will install WordPress, add the GraphQL plugin, and install and Gatsby on FlashDrive.io to create a static website that rebuilds automatically each time your website is modified, all of that using FlashDrive's unique network and security capabilities and only using FREE dev instances on FlashDrive!

FlashDrive.io is Free for developers, register today to try Gatsby with WordPress for free.
