Astro ships zero JavaScript by default — pages load in a fraction of the time of a typical WordPress theme.

why migrate Fast Secure Cheaper
Why leave WordPress behind
No plugins to update, no PHP vulnerabilities, no surprise breakages. A static site has almost no attack surface.
Host on a global CDN like Cloudflare or Netlify — often free or near-free — with no heavy hosting bills.

questions
FAQ
Will I lose my Google rankings?
No — preserving SEO is central to the migration. I keep your URL structure, set up redirects, and carry over meta, sitemap, and schema so rankings transfer to the new site.
Can I still edit content myself?
Yes. I set up a modern open-source CMS (Keystatic, Decap, Payload, Directus, or Strapi) so editing feels familiar and needs no code.
What happens to my plugins and functionality?
Each feature is mapped to an Astro equivalent or integration — forms, search, galleries, and so on. A lot of plugin bloat simply disappears; anything essential is rebuilt.
Will my site look the same?
Yes by default — I rebuild your design faithfully. If you would like a visual refresh at the same time, we can do that too.
How long does it take?
Most migrations take 1–3 weeks, depending on page count and custom functionality.
What about WooCommerce or large stores?
Heavy e-commerce is a different scope. Let us talk first — I will advise honestly whether Astro is the right move for your store.
