WordPress-to-Astro Migration

A WordPress-to-Astro migration moves a site off PHP-rendered, plugin-heavy WordPress and onto Astro, a framework that compiles pages to static HTML with little or no client-side JavaScript. The content can be carried over directly, or WordPress can be kept as a headless editor that feeds Astro through its API.

Teams migrate for three reasons. Performance, because static pages routinely hit top Core Web Vitals scores. Security and cost, because there is no live database or plugin surface to exploit and hosting is cheaper. Maintainability, because there is no more plugin-conflict firefighting.

The trade-off is that dynamic, logged-in functionality such as membership areas, complex forms, or real-time features needs to be planned for rather than dropped in as a plugin. Done well, the result keeps everything visitors and editors value about the old site while loading several times faster. It is one of the most common projects we run, and our Roseville rebuild is a representative example.
