 * Hello and thanks for this great plugin!
 * Two questions about packages generated for offline usage:
    1. I tested with a very simple site having large header images but those images
       take quite long to show up and get visible only when clicking to a couple of
       other links. Is that normal?
       **SOLVED**: the culprit was Flying Pages. I deactivated
       it and images load fast but the initial loading time for the homepage is still
       quite long. Maybe add it to your list of incompatible plugins?
    2. Is there a way to later use those files initially generated for “offline use”
       with a domain online, either with the original domain or another?
 * And a bonus questions: would it be possible for you to publish a post (with examples)
   in your FAQ for idiots like myself who don’t well understand the differences 
   and usage of “Absolute URLs” and “Reative Path” package generation?
 * Many thanks!

 * Hey [@dsl225](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsl225/),
 * thanks for reaching out (and for your update!)
 * 1) Noted! I’ll add that to the list in the next update!
   2) I would recommend 
   re-running the export with “Relative Path” or “Absolute URL” – this way, the 
   paths are already optimized to work on a hosted environment.
 * You can also do it manually with a code editor, but I’m not sure how viable that
   solution is for you.
 * 3) 100%! I’m also thinking about completely relabelling these settings. These
   are from the super-early days of the plugin and probably cause more confusion
   than they help! 😅
 * Thanks for the heads-up!

 * Great many thanks and looking forward in finding some helpers in those settings!
 * PS: In the meanwhile, which mode should I chose if want to convert an existing
   dynamic site into a static one at the same URL – by simply replacing all files
   with HTML versions?
