Will I lose my Google rankings after migrating from WordPress?

No. We keep your URL structure where possible and set up 301 redirects for any URLs that change. We also move over all your meta tags, schema, and sitemaps. Most sites actually see their rankings stay the same or improve because the new site loads much faster.

How long does a WordPress to Astro migration take?

Most migrations take between one and three weeks. A small site with around 10 pages usually takes about one week. Larger sites with more content and a new content management system take two to three weeks. You will get a clear timeline after we review your site in the free audit.

Can I still edit content after the migration?

Yes. We set up a headless CMS such as Keystatic, Sanity, or Contentful. Your team can log in and add or edit content just like they did in WordPress, without needing to touch any code. Changes go live automatically.

What happens to my WordPress plugins?

Most plugins are no longer needed. We replace contact forms with simple modern alternatives like web3forms or custom code. SEO is built into Astro, so you do not need plugins like Yoast. Security plugins become unnecessary because there is no database or PHP code to attack.

Will my site be more secure on Astro?

Yes, significantly more secure. Astro creates static HTML files with no database, no PHP, and no admin login area. This removes almost all the common ways hackers attack WordPress sites.

What about my blog posts and images?

Every post is converted to clean Markdown with all formatting, categories, tags, and metadata kept in place. Images are optimized for speed and served efficiently. All internal links are updated to work on the new site.

How much will I save on hosting?

WordPress sites usually cost between $10 and $50 per month for hosting, plus extra for plugins and maintenance. After switching to Astro, most content sites run on free or very low cost plans from Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, or Netlify.

Do you handle redirects and SEO during migration?

Yes. We check every URL, set up proper redirects where needed, move over your SEO settings, generate a new sitemap, and make sure everything is configured correctly before launch. We test all redirects to avoid any problems.

Why WordPress Sites Cost You More Than You Think

WordPress runs millions of websites. But for most marketing and content sites, it is too complex, has more security issues than it should, and costs more to maintain than necessary.

Slow Load Times

WordPress sites are heavy. Plugins, themes, PHP processing, and database queries add up to sluggish pages that frustrate visitors.

Page load times of 2–5 seconds on average
Bloated plugin CSS and JS on every page
PHP rendering on every request
Poor Core Web Vitals scores
Higher bounce rates from impatient visitors

Security Vulnerabilities

WordPress powers over 40% of the web — making it the #1 target for hackers. Every plugin is a potential attack surface.

Database-driven sites are prime targets for SQL injection
Outdated plugins create known exploit vectors
PHP vulnerabilities require constant patching
Malware injection through compromised themes

Expensive Hosting

WordPress requires PHP, a database, and constant updates. Hosting costs add up quickly compared to static sites.

$10–$50+/month for managed WordPress hosting
Paid premium plugins and theme licenses
Developer hours for plugin updates and security patches
CDN costs to compensate for slow server-side rendering

WordPress vs Astro: Side by Side

See how the two approaches compare across the metrics that matter most for content and marketing websites.

Feature	WordPress	Astro
Page Load Speed	2–5 seconds	Under 1 second
JavaScript Payload	200–500 KB+	0 KB (by default)
Security	Database, PHP, plugin exploits	Static files, no attack surface
Hosting Cost	$10–$50+/month	Often free or <$5/mo on Vercel/Netlify/Cloudflare.
Uptime	Depends on server/plugins	99.99%+ (static CDN)
Maintenance	Plugin/theme updates, backups	None required
SEO	Plugin-dependent (Yoast etc.)	Built-in, fast by default
Lighthouse Score	60–85 typical	95–100 typical
Content Editing	wp-admin dashboard	Headless CMS or Markdown
Plugins/Ecosystem	50,000+ (many bloated/vulnerable)	Lightweight integrations + component islands.

Astro works better than WordPress for most content heavy marketing sites when it comes to speed, security, and cost. WordPress is still a good choice for complex dynamic applications such as full online stores or membership sites.

WordPress to Astro Migration in 6 Steps

This is our standard process. It keeps your content, your search rankings, and your design intact. Most migrations take one to three weeks.

Site Audit: We crawl and audit your WordPress site, capture Lighthouse baselines, and document every page, post, URL, plugin, and SEO setting. Your WordPress site stays live throughout the entire migration for zero downtime. You get a full migration plan with scope and timeline confirmed before we start.

URL Mapping and Redirects: Every URL is mapped and preserved. Where structure changes, we create 301 redirects to protect your Google rankings and link equity. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Design Recreation: Your WordPress theme is rebuilt in Astro with Tailwind CSS. Every layout, color, font, and responsive breakpoint matches your existing brand.

Content Migration: Pages, blog posts, images, and media are converted to Markdown or MDX with all formatting, metadata, and internal links preserved. No content is left behind.

Testing and QA: Every page is tested with Lighthouse (targeting 95+ scores). We re-crawl for broken links, run SEO accuracy checks, test responsive design across devices, and validate Core Web Vitals. Redirects are verified against the original URL map to ensure nothing is lost.

Launch: We deploy to your preferred static host (Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, or Netlify), configure DNS and SSL, and monitor for 48 hours to ensure a clean transition with zero downtime.
