Yep, it wasn't too hard to get it working. I modified my theme slightly to get rid of the search bar that doesn't work, and I hid comments, since those won't work either.

My homepage running on vanilla Wordpress: https://www.skyfaller.space/

The same site using Simply Static: https://static.skyfaller.space/

Does it feel slightly faster?

You can feed both URLs to Google's Page Speed tool. The dynamic page scores 75/96 (mobile/desktop), and the static scores 72/98. So perhaps for your specific case it's not much of an improvement (I'd consider the 3 point drop for static mobile to be within margin of error).

Actually for me the Wordpress version loaded faster! But I guess pagespeed is the right way to check.
