If you don't want to maintain a legacy app liable to be compromised, going static using wget + a few scripts is a lovely trick. No maintenance, no pain, and free hosting :) I personally doubt static websites will go out of fashion anytime soon.

Jekyl and Gatsby are pretty amazing. Got involved in a project at work that uses Gatsby underneath and once you get used to all the node.js/dependency BS it's actually fun.
