WordPress Migration

WordPress gets a site live quickly. The trouble starts a few years later. Plugins pile up, each loads its own scripts, a theme update breaks something, and the site takes seconds to appear.

At that point we suggest keeping the design and replacing everything underneath it. Visitors see the same site. On the server there is no WordPress and no plugin left.

How the Migration Works

The design is kept exactly as it is

A migration is not a redesign. Existing pages keep their look and their copy. Your customers do not lose the site they know and nobody waits on design approval.

Plugin and jQuery weight goes away

A typical WordPress page loads dozens of plugin scripts plus jQuery. A static build needs none of it, because the page already exists as finished HTML.

URLs stay where they are

The real risk in a migration is not the design, it is the URL structure. Existing URLs are preserved, and anything that has to change gets a single 301 hop. Years of search history stay intact.

The update and security burden ends

Most compromised WordPress sites are taken through an out of date plugin. A static site has no running admin, no database and no plugin list, so the attack surface shrinks to almost nothing.

Before You Decide to Migrate

  • We measure how many plugins your site loads and how many of them are actually used.
  • We list the pages that bring in search traffic. Those URLs become untouchable.
  • We agree up front on who updates the content. Static does not mean uneditable.
  • We measure load time before and after and show you both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Anything that changes regularly, such as blog posts, service copy and images, is edited through an admin panel. Pages that never change stay static, because carrying a panel for them costs something and gains nothing.

Not while the URL structure is preserved and the content stays the same. The risk comes from URLs changing without redirects, not from the migration itself. Faster pages usually push the other way.

It depends on the number of pages and custom features. A few weeks for a corporate site. What stretches the timeline is usually rewriting features that a WordPress plugin used to handle, such as forms, bookings and memberships.
