Depending on how much you want to change their content, look at the
WordPress static site generators.

Simply Static works well if you've sensibly avoided going anywhere near
the Gutenberg versions of WP, otherwise there's https://wp2static.com/
which also has links to commercial alternatives.

The basic workflow is 'get site the way you want / convert to static in
a few seconds / switch Apache to serve that instead / leave it that way
or switch back to WP to do some editing / repeat'.

If you're not doing a pile of edits, this is the easiest way to go.

It also makes each instance of Apache much smaller. The exact method of
avoiding it has changed with Apache changes, but it's been many many
years since I've used mod_php.
