Strattic is a technology company.
Strattic provides a specialized hosting platform that automatically transforms WordPress websites into static versions, significantly enhancing their speed, security, and scalability. This approach allows content creators and marketers to leverage the familiar WordPress content management system while delivering a highly performant, unhackable, and maintenance-free web experience. The core technology optimizes site delivery by serving pre-rendered static files, eliminating common WordPress vulnerabilities and performance bottlenecks.
The company was founded in 2018 by Miriam Schwab and Josh Lawrence. Schwab, a seasoned web developer with extensive experience in the WordPress ecosystem, recognized the inherent limitations of dynamic WordPress sites regarding security, speed, and scalability. This insight fueled the development of Strattic, aiming to address these critical issues by decoupling the WordPress backend from the frontend.
Strattic targets businesses and organizations that rely on WordPress for their web presence, seeking improved performance and reliability without abandoning their existing workflows. The company’s vision is to make the benefits of static website architecture accessible to the vast WordPress user base, enabling them to effortlessly achieve a more robust and efficient online footprint in an increasingly demanding digital landscape.

Strattic is a technology company that built a platform converting dynamic WordPress websites into static, headless architecture for enhanced speed, security, and scalability. It serves WordPress users, agencies, and enterprises seeking to optimize sites without compromising functionality, solving key pain points like vulnerabilities, slow performance, and downtime in traditional WordPress hosting.[1][2][3][4] The platform uses a smart engine to pre-render sites as static HTML/CSS replicas served via global CDNs, enabling one-click deployment while supporting advanced features.[1][2][4] Founded in 2017 (with some sources noting 2018), Strattic raised $6.5M before its acquisition by Elementor in June 2022, marking strong growth momentum in the static hosting space.[1][2]
Strattic was founded in 2017 in Jerusalem, Israel, by Miriam Schwab, who served as CEO and presented the company at early pitch events like Incubit's startup showcase.[1] Schwab identified a critical gap in WordPress ecosystems: sites were powerful for content creation but prone to hacks, slow loads, and scalability issues due to dynamic PHP-based architecture.[1][2] The idea emerged from leveraging static site generation to make WordPress "lightweight, scalable, and non-hackable," as pitched in 2017 events alongside other deep-tech startups.[1] Early traction came from its incubator ties, such as Incubit (backed by Elbit Systems), and rapid adoption for solving real-world vulnerabilities, leading to $6.5M in funding and the 2022 acquisition by Elementor.[1][2]
Strattic stands out in WordPress hosting through these key strengths:
Strattic rides the Jamstack and static site revolution, shifting web development from vulnerable dynamic servers to secure, edge-delivered static assets amid rising cyber threats and performance demands.[2][4] Timing was ideal post-2017, as WordPress powered 40%+ of websites but faced escalating hacks and slow mobile loads, fueling demand for hybrid solutions blending no-code ease with modern architecture.[1][2] Market forces like global CDNs (e.g., Cloudflare), serverless computing, and headless CMS growth amplified its edge, influencing the ecosystem by inspiring acquisitions like Elementor's—integrating static hosting into mainstream WordPress tools for millions of creators.[2] This democratizes high-performance sites, pushing competitors toward static optimizations and elevating Israel's deep-tech contributions to web infrastructure.[1]
Post-acquisition, Strattic's tech powers Elementor's all-in-one platform, enabling ultra-performant, secure hosting for large-scale WordPress sites—next steps include broader rollout to Elementor's community.[2] Trends like AI-driven content, edge computing, and zero-trust security will shape its path, potentially expanding to full-stack Jamstack tools or e-commerce adaptations. Its influence may evolve from niche innovator to core WordPress infrastructure, redefining hosting as proactive performance engineering rather than reactive defense—solidifying Strattic's legacy in making the web faster and safer for all.[2][5]
Strattic has raised $7.0M in total across 1 funding round.
