Publishing runs the WEMASY static site generator to build your live site.
What gets generated
- HTML pages for every active URL
- website.zip — Downloadable export
- sitemap.xml — Search engine sitemap
- robots.txt — Crawler rules
- llms.txt — AI discovery file (auto-generated)
During publish
The Publish screen shows a terminal with build progress. Large sites use incremental rebuilds: only changed parts of the site are regenerated, which speeds up deploys on complex projects.
If progress stalls, wait a few minutes or start a new deploy. Failed builds do not replace your current live site.
Performance and delivery
- Images are optimized automatically during the build.
- Output is served via CDN for fast global delivery.
- Built-in validation runs before the new build replaces the live site.
After publish
Use Quick deploy for small changes after the first successful publish. Use full Publish for domain changes, version rollback, or auto-publish setup.
