Why teams leave Bitrix
Bitrix is powerful but heavy - for many projects it turns out to be excessive and expensive:
- Heavy. Monolithic architecture with many modules - pages assemble slowly even on a good server.
- Expensive. License, powerful hosting under load, and developers with platform-specific knowledge.
- Slow. Poor Core Web Vitals due to heavy page generation - this hurts SEO and user behavior.
- Over-complex. Enormous feature set, most of which a given site does not need, but which complicates maintenance.
What a modern stack gives you
We move the site to clean code (Astro, Next.js) and a Headless CMS. Only the needed functionality remains - without the weight and over-complexity of Bitrix.
| Parameter | Bitrix | Modern stack |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Slow, heavy generation | Instant static delivery |
| Maintenance cost | License + powerful server | Cheap static hosting |
| Complexity | Over-complex | Only what you need |
| Developers | Platform-specific expertise | Regular web developers |
How we migrate content and preserve SEO
We migrate content, catalog, and needed integrations (CRM, payments, forms). We keep the URL structure or set up 301 redirects, migrate meta tags and headings. The speed boost after migration helps rankings grow.
Cost and timeline
Migration from Bitrix starts at 1200 EUR. Timeline depends on site volume, number of sections, and integrations. We lock in an exact quote after auditing your current site.

Frequently asked questions
Why is a Bitrix site heavy and slow?
Bitrix is a monolithic CMS with a large number of modules and a heavy architecture. Keeping it stable under load requires a powerful server, and pages are still assembled slowly. A site on clean code serves ready-made static files and loads instantly.
How much does it cost to run a Bitrix site?
Bitrix is expensive to operate: license, powerful hosting under load, and developers who know the platform specifics. After migrating to a modern stack, maintenance costs noticeably less - cheap static hosting and regular web developers.
Will I lose my search rankings?
No. We preserve the URL structure or set up 301 redirects from old addresses, migrate meta tags and headings. The speed boost after migration helps rankings rather than harming them.
How much does migration from Bitrix cost?
From 1200 EUR. Price depends on site volume, number of sections, and integrations (CRM, catalog, user accounts). We provide an exact quote after auditing your current site.
Will you migrate the catalog and integrations?
Yes. Content, catalog, and needed integrations (CRM, payments, forms) are reproduced on the new stack. The over-complexity of Bitrix disappears - only what the business actually needs remains.
