Welcome to WordPress Static Site Guardian

Hi, and thanks for visiting!

This is the demo site for my Devpost submission WordPress Static Site Guardian.
The project solves a common challenge: once you export a WordPress site as static HTML and host it on S3 + CloudFront, you lose authentication. Member-only pages, profile editing, or premium content all become publicly visible.

My goal was to combine the speed and security of a static site with proper authentication. Using AWS CloudFront signed cookies and the Gatey WordPress plugin for Cognito integration, I built an end-to-end solution that any AWS account owner can deploy with one click from the Serverless Application Repository.

👉 On this demo site:

• The homepage is freely available.
• Protected routes — such as my blog and profile editing — require sign-in with Cognito, and access is granted only after the SAR stack issues a signed cookie.
