We moved 7 of my and my client’s WordPress sites to Astro. They now run on Cloudflare Workers for *free*.
It took about 2.5 weeks. Before that these sites were on WPX and SiteGround servers. Of course, that doesn’t count Rank Math Pro, Elementor Pro, Nitropack, Cleantalk and a bunch of other monthly crap to keep them maintainable and reasonably fast. Updates, plugins, security patches, the usual WordPress tomfoolery.
What we did:
1. Directly pulled the content out of WordPress and de-Elementored them.
2. Rebuilt each site in Astro and Cloud Cannon using static HTML/CSS and JavaScript. Maintained by GitHub like an adult!
3. Deployed to Cloudflare Workers
4. Switched DNS site by site and pushed them live one by one, checking everything along the way.
5. Fixed a bunch of crap that no WordPress bundle could handle.
5. Backed everything up, then cancelled our WP hosting.
Result: around a hundred+ $ per month saved, the sites are way faster and we maintain them with AI agents.
I would not want to compete with our clients with a WordPress website!
@glenngabe@lilyraynyc So when can the sites that were not drinking the koolaid expect to get all their traffic back from those naughty AI sites? Oh right, never. 😂
@FirstNameJ0hn I hate sounding old, but right now, SNL is unwatchably, cringe-inducingly bad. Breaking up Please Don’t Destroy removed any trace of the “artsy madcap” vibe. Go back and watch any of PDD’s previous videos and compare any segment now. 🤮
