Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about limits, features, and automation.

Limits & Plans

What are the Free plan limits?

500 routes per generation — posts, pages, tag pages, and pagination combined. Large sites will be cut off at 500.
3 manual generations per 24 hours — resets on a rolling 24-hour window, not at midnight.
One Ghost source per generation — each run is tied to a single Ghost URL.
No Ghost code injection — scripts added via Ghost Admin → Code Injection (header/footer) are not included in free builds. Upgrade to Pro to include them.
No RSS, Sitemap, or Robots.txt — meta files are a Pro feature.
No search, CDN routing, minification, or Git deploy — these are Pro add-on modules.
Generation runs in your browser — closing the tab cancels the build.

What are the Pro plan limits?

Up to 20,000 routes per generation — covers virtually all Ghost sites within fair-use limits.
20 manual generations per 24 hours — resets on a rolling 24-hour window.
5 webhook auto-publish builds per 24 hours — each Ghost publish event counts as one build. Resets on a rolling 24-hour window. Manual generations do not count against this limit.
One Ghost source per webhook config — each SnapStatic account stores one webhook configuration. Use Agency plan if you manage multiple Ghost sites.
Archives kept for 30 days — generated ZIPs and build logs are stored and downloadable for 30 days, then automatically deleted.
All modules included — CDN routing, search (Fuse.js / Algolia), HTML minification, file uploads, Git deploy, Ghost Portal.

What are the Agency plan limits?

Agency is identical to Pro in per-site limits, but allows managing multiple Ghost sites from one account:

Up to 10 domains — store webhook configurations for up to 10 separate Ghost sites.
Same generation limits as Pro per site — 20,000 routes, 20 manual builds/day, 5 webhook builds/day.
All Pro modules — every feature available on Pro is available on Agency.
Priority support — faster response times for Agency accounts.

For agencies and developers managing Ghost sites for clients — each client site gets its own webhook config, generation settings, and Git deploy target.

Automation

Can I fully automate static site generation and deployment?

Yes. With Pro and a Git provider, the entire pipeline is automatic:

You publish or update a post in Ghost Admin.
Ghost fires a webhook to SnapStatic.
SnapStatic queues a Pro generation using your saved config.
The static site is built and pushed to your Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket).
Your hosting service (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, etc.) detects the Git push and deploys automatically.

End result: publish in Ghost → live on your static site within minutes, zero manual steps. Setup takes about 10 minutes. See Auto-Publish Webhook and Git Push Deploy docs.

What happens if I hit the webhook build limit?

Webhook builds over the 5-per-24-hour limit are rejected. Ghost will log the failed delivery, but your site is not changed. You can still run a manual generation from the Pro Generator at any time — manual builds have a separate 20/day limit.

Tip: batch your edits and publish them together rather than publishing one post at a time to stay within the webhook limit.

Does the free plan support webhooks or Git deploy?

No. Auto-publish webhooks and Git push deploy are Pro features. Free builds run in the browser and produce a ZIP file you download manually.

My Ghost site has more than 20,000 routes. What happens?

Generation stops at 20,000 routes. For most Ghost sites this is not an issue — a site with 20,000 routes has thousands of posts, tag pages, and author pages combined. If you regularly exceed this, contact support to discuss custom limits.

Tip: use the Tag Pagination Depth and Page Pagination Depth controls in Advanced Settings to reduce unnecessary pagination routes.
