Why AJAX functionality won’t work on a static site

An explanation of what AJAX is and why it doesn’t work on Strattic.

What Is AJAX?

AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML. It was designed to communicate with servers by sending and receiving data in a variety of formats. Some websites use AJAX to update a webpage without requiring a page refresh. Some examples of AJAX include “Load more” pagination, some form success messages, etc.

AJAX on Strattic websites

Strattic offers the highest level of security by generating a static replica of your WordPress site for speed, security, and scalability. Since the Live version of your website is static, there is no longer a database for AJAX to communicate with.

If you need to replace an AJAX-dependent part of your website, please browse our Tools Directory, which has plenty of alternatives and third-party solutions that will work on Strattic.
