Why static instead of WordPress?
Static sites are faster, cheaper to host at scale, more secure, and need almost no maintenance — ideal for podcast sites.
Static hosting that makes podcast sites fly
Every Castee publish compiles to pure static files — no WordPress PHP, no server-side rendering on your live site. Just HTML, CSS, and edge-cached assets worldwide.
Why it matters
Built for podcast creators
Static site output
Templates compile to minimal HTML. Episode pages load instantly — critical for mobile listeners.
Global edge delivery
Files serve from edge locations close to your audience. Unlimited bandwidth included on every plan.
Immutable releases
Each publish creates a new release folder. Roll back instantly if you need to undo a change.
Lighthouse-friendly by default
No jQuery bundles, no render-blocking WordPress plugins. Static-first architecture targets 95+ performance scores.
How it works
Step by step
01
Build in the dashboard
Dynamic builder and preview run on dash.castee.fm — only you need the app server.
02
Compile on publish
The publisher renders templates with your podcast data and section config.
03
Deploy globally
Static files upload and serve through our global edge network — fast everywhere.
What happens if Castee goes down?
Your published site keeps serving from edge cache. Only the dashboard and publish pipeline need Castee servers.
Can I export my site?
Each release is a complete static folder. Export/download is on the roadmap for portability.
