Why WordPress stops working for you
WordPress is a great starting point, but as your site grows problems accumulate. Common pain points that bring clients to migration:
- Slow. Theme + a dozen plugins + database queries on every page view result in slow loading and poor Core Web Vitals.
- Plugin vulnerabilities. Every plugin is a potential security hole. WP sites are regularly hacked and infected through outdated extensions.
- Expensive hosting. To keep WordPress from crashing under load, you need a powerful server - a constant expense.
- Degradation under growth. The more content and traffic, the worse the slowdowns. The site hits the platform ceiling.
- Constant updates. Core, theme, and plugins all need updates that sometimes break the layout and features.
What you get after migration
We move WordPress to a Headless CMS (Sanity, Strapi, Contentful) and clean code (Astro, Next.js). You manage content just as comfortably, but the site serves static files - instantly and reliably.
| Parameter | WordPress | Headless + clean code |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Slow, depends on plugins | Instant static delivery |
| Security | Plugin and core vulnerabilities | No public server-side CMS |
| Hosting | Expensive server under load | Cheap static hosting |
| Content management | WP admin panel | Convenient Headless admin |
How we preserve SEO during migration
The main fear when leaving WordPress is a drop in rankings. We prevent that: we keep the URL structure or set up 301 redirects from old addresses, migrate meta tags, headings, and schema markup, and verify indexation after launch. The speed of the new code-based site actually helps rankings grow.
Cost and timeline
Migration from WordPress starts at 1200 EUR. Timeline depends on the number of pages and blog volume: a small site takes about a week, a large corporate site takes 3-6 weeks. We lock in an exact quote after auditing your current site.

Frequently asked questions
Will I lose my Google rankings by leaving WordPress?
No. We preserve the URL structure or set up 301 redirects from old addresses to new ones, and migrate all meta tags and headings. Search engines see that pages changed technology rather than disappeared. After migration the site usually indexes even better - thanks to the speed boost.
Will I be able to edit content as comfortably as in WordPress?
Yes. We move the site to a Headless CMS (Sanity, Strapi, Contentful) - you get a convenient admin panel and edit texts, images, and blog articles yourself. Content manageability stays the same, but without the server load and sluggishness of WordPress.
How much does migration from WordPress cost?
From 1200 EUR. Price depends on the number of pages, blog volume, and integrations (WooCommerce, forms, multilingual). We provide an exact quote after auditing your current site.
What happens to WordPress plugins?
We replicate the functionality of needed plugins natively on the new stack - forms, analytics, SEO, CRM integrations. The main plugin problem disappears: vulnerabilities and conflicts that cause WordPress sites to break and slow down.
Will the site be faster than on WordPress?
Yes, noticeably. WordPress loads the theme, plugins, and database queries for every page view. A site on clean code serves ready-made static files with ideal Core Web Vitals - load times improve dramatically.
