JP Joom2Static - What's New in JP Joom2Static

What's New in JP Joom2Static?

HTML Conversion Mode

JP Joom2Static now provides two different methods for discovering and converting Joomla pages.

• Selected Menus (Default): Generates static pages from the Joomla menu types selected in the configuration.
• Full Site Crawler: Automatically discovers and converts reachable internal pages across the website.

The Full Site Crawler is useful for larger Joomla websites where manually maintaining menu-based page selections is not practical.

Live Generation Progress

Static generation now displays real-time progress inside an AJAX-powered modal window.

During the conversion process, JP Joom2Static displays:

• Current generation step
• Processed URLs
• Total URLs
• Completion percentage
• Currently processed URL
• Successful conversions
• Failed conversions

When generation is completed, a final summary is displayed together with an option to view the generated HTML output.

Incremental Export

Incremental Export allows JP Joom2Static to rebuild only pages that have changed since the previous static generation run.

This can significantly reduce generation time on larger websites that receive frequent content updates.

Single Page Export

A specific Joomla page can now be regenerated without rebuilding the complete website.

For example:

/news/article-alias

Enter the required path into the Single Page Export field and click Export Single Page.

Native PHP GD Image Optimization

Images can now be optimized directly on the Joomla server using native PHP GD functions.

This provides an alternative to the TinyPNG API and includes an adjustable image quality setting from 1 to 100.

Standalone Webhook Trigger

A standalone webhook.php endpoint allows external applications to securely start a complete static site export without requiring an interactive Joomla administrator login.

This feature can be used with:

• GitHub Actions
• CI/CD pipelines
• External applications
• Third-party webhook systems
• Automated publishing workflows

New Deployment System

All deployment providers are now available from one consolidated Deployment section.

Supported deployment targets include:

• Local output
• FTP Server
• Netlify
• AWS S3
• Wasabi / S3-compatible storage
• GitHub Pages

The configuration automatically displays only the settings required for the selected deployment provider.

Improved GitHub Pages Deployment

GitHub repository parsing has been improved. JP Joom2Static can correctly extract the repository information even when a full GitHub repository URL is supplied, helping prevent deployment failures caused by incorrectly formatted repository values.

Improved CLI and Background Generation

The site URL context is now explicitly supplied during CLI execution, resolving the Uri::root() exception that could previously interrupt CLI or background exports.
