Wagtail-bakery
A Django Wagtail extension that generates static flat files from your CMS content for improved performance and hosting flexibility.
What is Wagtail-bakery?
Wagtail-bakery is a Django extension for the Wagtail CMS that generates static HTML files from dynamic content. It solves the problem of slow page loads and high server costs by pre-rendering Wagtail pages into flat files that can be served from static hosting services like Netlify or S3. This approach improves site performance, reduces database queries, and simplifies deployment.
Django developers using Wagtail CMS who need to improve site performance, reduce hosting costs, or deploy to static hosting environments. It's particularly useful for content-heavy sites where read speed is critical.
Developers choose Wagtail-bakery because it seamlessly integrates with Wagtail's existing workflow while providing the benefits of static site generation. Unlike generic static site generators, it understands Wagtail's page structure, supports multisite setups, and can generate static APIs—all through familiar Django management commands.
