Description

In an effort to ease #417

For every "static" page on the site, the site needs to rebuild the entire template, which means re-evaluating all logic, data, and preprocessing done by PHP, _then_ serve the request back. This is understandably inefficient.

A few solutions to this are:
* to render these pages ahead-of-time and cache them with a very long life, or (even better),
* make static HTML files of these pages, and have the site serve them instead

Research direction

Start by reading issue #417 and the closed pull request #447 to understand the existing direction. Trace how PHP currently rebuilds static pages, then define completion as serving pre-rendered or cached static HTML without re-evaluating the full template and preprocessing path.
