This is important since when serving the plain files, a web server such as NGinx need the .html extension to know that the files should be sent directly to the user&rsquo;s browser, not offered as a file to download. See below for how to redirect from old to new links.</li> <li>-e robots=off - Don&rsquo;t read the robots.txt file. Not sure exactly how this one works, but I got a lot of errors if not including it.</li> <li>&ndash;wait 0.5 - It is better to not overwhelm the web server where your site is hosted, by waiting a little between each page download.</li> </ul> <p>After finishing this command, you will have a folder with static HTML-files and other files, that you can just upload to your web server instead of your CMS.</p>
