I would like to create a static homepage that sits out of wordpress framework which would have links to the actual wordpress posts. I think that the homepage would load much faster that the homepage as a part of wordpress. Is it possible or do I still need to create the static homepage within wordpress framework as .html page?
Will static homepage load faster in wordpress than postpage as a homepage?
Well what you can actually do is cache the wordpress pages so it would perform as a static page, check the caching plugins on http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Optimization/Caching
