I've been using Drupal since 2008 and built the first version of my website with Drupal 6 before updating it to Drupal 7.<\/p>\n\n

Around that time, I discovered static site generators and built the next version of my website with Jekyll.<\/p>\n\n

I liked how I could write content in simple plain files, export them to HTML and upload them to a server.<\/p>\n\n

Static websites are fast and secure.<\/p>\n\n

There was no need for PHP or a database. Just a simple web server like Apache or Nginx that can serve static files.<\/p>\n\n

I later switched to Sculpin, a static site generator written with PHP, which has a lot of similarities with Drupal.<\/p>\n\n

But what if you want the power of Drupal with the benefits of a static website?<\/p>\n\n

Tome<\/a> is a module that turns Drupal into a static site generator.<\/p>\n\n

Drupal works the same locally with access to all the usual core functionality and contrib modules and themes from Drupal.org, but you export everything to static files - the same as using Jekyll or Sculpin.<\/p>\n\n

Sam Mortenson, the creator of the Tome module discussed it on our episode of the Beyond Blocks podcast<\/a> where we also talked about single file components.<\/p>\n\n

If you want the power of a flexible content management system and the performance and security benefits of a static website, Tome gives you the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
