Simply Static is an alternative for self-hosting: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/

I'm learning how to then put the static site on a CDN. Are there tools for that, or I would be using just FTP. Thanks.

+1 - I use this for my personal site - it's great.

The only thing I found is you can't have any orphaned pages (like hidden ones) from the homepage. As it scrapes down if there aren't any links to it it won't find it. Small problem, definitely cuts down on the work I need to do for my personal tool site though.

You could just put a CDN in front of WordPress and presto change-o your site is static.

Could I use a CDN plugin (I found yours in a comment) in the Wordpress development environment itself? (I won't be hosting Wordpress live in production, only the static pages.) Thanks!
