Move off WordPress onto a site you actually own.
We rebuild slow WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace sites into blazing-fast custom sites on a modern stack — your content and your rankings intact.
Your website is the first thing most customers meet before they ever talk to you — and on the modern web, the first thing they judge is speed. A site that loads instantly feels trustworthy and premium. A site that stalls, spins, or throws the occasional error feels risky, and people leave before they read a word. The uncomfortable part is that most owners have no idea how much a slow, fragile platform is costing them, because the customers they lose never fill out a form to complain — they just quietly bounce to a competitor.
This is the real problem with the platforms most small businesses are stuck on. WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace are easy to start with, but they get slow and brittle as they grow — layers of plugins, shared hosting, and page builders pile up until every page is heavy, every update is a gamble, and the whole thing depends on a stack of software you don't control and can't fix. You end up a tenant on your own website.
Migration is the way out. We move you off that fragile setup and onto a clean, blazing-fast build you actually own — with your content intact and, critically, your search rankings preserved. This guide explains, in plain English, exactly what a slow platform costs you, why WordPress specifically becomes a liability at scale, and how we migrate you without losing a thing.
Slow, fragile sites don't just annoy visitors. They quietly bleed customers every single day — and you never see the ones who left.
Conversion rate by load time (relative)
A site that loads in one second converts roughly three times better than one that takes five — same traffic, same offer, just faster.[2]
Share of hacked sites that ran WordPress
WordPress powers ~40% of the web but made up ~95% of the sites security firm Sucuri cleaned — a reflection of plugin sprawl and constant upkeep, not just popularity.[4]

What a slow, fragile platform actually costs you
Speed isn't a nice-to-have; it's the single biggest lever on whether a visitor becomes a customer. Google's own data found that 53% of mobile visits are abandoned if a page takes longer than three seconds to load1 — and most WordPress sites, weighed down by plugins and page builders, are nowhere near three seconds on a phone. Every one of those abandoned visits is a customer who was interested enough to click, and left before they saw what you offer.
It compounds from there. A one-second site converts about three times better than a five-second one,2 and Google and Deloitte measured that even a tenth-of-a-second improvement in load time lifted retail conversions by 8.4%.5 Slow pages also rank worse — Google confirms that Core Web Vitals (its speed and stability metrics) are used by its ranking systems.6 So a slow site loses you customers twice: once when Google shows you lower in results, and again when the visitors who do arrive give up waiting.
Visitors bounce before the page loads
Over half of mobile visitors leave if a page takes more than three seconds — and they never come back to try again.
Mobile is where it hurts most
Most local traffic is on phones, on average connections, where a heavy WordPress page feels twice as slow as it does on your desktop.
You rank lower for being slow
Core Web Vitals are a confirmed Google ranking signal — a sluggish site quietly loses the search positions you need.
Slow reads as untrustworthy
Visitors form a gut judgment about your credibility in milliseconds. A site that stalls signals risk before you've said a word.
Why WordPress specifically becomes a liability
WordPress powers about 40% of the entire web,3 so this isn't about it being a bad tool — it's about what it becomes over years of real-world use. Every feature you add is another plugin. Every plugin is more code to load, another thing to update, and another potential point of failure. Before long you have a dozen plugins from a dozen different developers all fighting for the same page, hosted on a shared server, and the site that felt fine at launch now takes six seconds to load and breaks whenever something updates.
It's also the reason WordPress dominates the hacked-site statistics: security firm Sucuri found 95.5% of the infected sites it cleaned were WordPress,4 and the majority were compromised through plugins, weak passwords, and outdated add-ons rather than the core software itself. When your website is assembled from other people's plugins, their vulnerabilities become yours — and keeping all of it patched becomes a permanent, unpaid job.
Plugin bloat
A dozen plugins from a dozen developers, all loading on every page, is why the site got slow — and why it breaks on the next update.
A wide attack surface
Every plugin is code someone else wrote. Their security holes become your security holes, and there are a lot of them.
The maintenance treadmill
Updates you can't skip, but that might break the site if you run them. Either way, it's your time or your developer's bill.
You don't really own it
Proprietary themes and page builders lock your content inside a format you can't take with you. Your site, someone else's cage.
How we migrate you — without losing your rankings
The scariest part of any migration is the fear of losing the Google rankings you've spent years earning. It's a real risk — a careless migration that changes URLs or drops redirects can tank your traffic overnight. It's also completely avoidable. We treat SEO preservation as the first requirement of the project, not an afterthought, and we don't cut over until every redirect and every page is verified. Here's how it runs.
1. Audit & URL map
We crawl your current site, catalog every URL, and lock a redirect and SEO-preservation plan before we build a single page.
2. Rebuild on the modern stack
We rebuild your site clean and fast, migrate all your content, and wire in tracking and forms from the ground up.
3. Map every redirect
Every old URL gets a 301 to its new home, so your rankings and any inbound links carry straight across.
4. Launch & verify
We cut over, test every redirect and page, and watch your rankings and analytics closely to confirm nothing slipped.
What we rebuild you on
We rebuild on a modern, code-owned stack: Astro for a near-zero-JavaScript front end that loads in under a second, Cloudflare's global edge network for hosting, Supabase for any database and forms, and GitHub for version control. There are no plugins to update, no shared server to overload, and no page builder holding your content hostage. It's fast by default, secure because there's almost nothing to attack, and it scales without surprise bills.
Most importantly, you own all of it. The code lives in your own repository. If you ever want to move it, hand it to another developer, or update it yourself with an AI tool, you can — no lock-in, no permission required.
Sub-second loads
Astro ships almost no JavaScript, so pages render instantly — the opposite of a plugin-heavy WordPress build.
Global edge hosting
Cloudflare serves your site from data centers worldwide, so it's fast for every visitor, everywhere, and stays up.
Real backend when you need it
Supabase handles forms, data, and logins cleanly — no bolt-on plugins, no bloat.
Almost nothing to hack
Static, plugin-free pages have next to no attack surface. There's simply nothing sitting there to exploit.
SEO preservation — the part everyone gets wrong
A migration done right doesn't just hold your rankings — it usually improves them, because the new site is faster and passes Core Web Vitals cleanly, both of which Google rewards.6 The trick is discipline: identical or properly-redirected URLs, 301s on everything, your title tags and meta descriptions carried over, and your schema markup rebuilt so rich results keep showing. We check all of it before and after launch, and we don't consider the job done until your Search Console numbers confirm the move was clean.
And because first impressions form in well under a second, a faster site doesn't just satisfy Google — it converts the humans, too. The same visitor who would have bounced off a slow WordPress page stays, reads, and books, because the site finally feels as professional as your business actually is.
