Escape WordPress.
Move to the edge.
WordPress powers 43% of the web — and accounts for a disproportionate share of hacked websites. W3IT migrates your WordPress site to a fast, serverless Cloudflare Pages build that loads faster, costs less and can't be compromised through a plugin.
W3IT.com is built on Cloudflare Pages. We made the same migration ourselves — from a CMS-based site to a static Astro build deployed to Cloudflare's edge. Faster, cheaper and nothing to patch. Read about our stack →
WordPress is powerful — and a liability
For content-heavy, dynamic sites, WordPress is excellent. But most small business websites are essentially static brochures running on a database-backed CMS that requires constant maintenance and creates unnecessary attack surface.
- Plugins break, sites get hacked Outdated plugins are the primary attack vector for WordPress. One unpatched plugin can compromise your entire site, hosting account and email reputation.
- Slow by default WordPress generates every page dynamically from a database. Without aggressive caching, every visitor waits for PHP and MySQL on a server that may be shared with hundreds of others.
- Hosting and maintenance costs add up Decent WordPress hosting costs £10–30/month. Add plugin licences, security monitoring, backup tools and developer time for updates — it mounts up quickly.
- Content updates cause breakage WordPress update fatigue is real. Core, theme and plugin updates interact unpredictably. Many small business owners stop updating entirely — making the problem worse.
From WordPress to Cloudflare Pages
A structured migration that preserves your content, SEO and design — with a faster result.
Content Audit & Export
We export all your WordPress content — pages, posts, images and metadata — and audit it for quality. This is a good opportunity to remove outdated content and consolidate pages that were created to satisfy a plugin rather than a business need.
Design & Build
We rebuild your site as a static Astro site, matching your existing design or modernising it. Blog content is managed as Markdown files in a Git repository — no database, no login page to protect, no PHP to update.
Contact Forms & Dynamic Features
Contact forms, newsletter sign-ups and other dynamic features are replaced with Cloudflare Workers endpoints — serverless functions that run at the edge. No PHP, no database login page, spam protected by Cloudflare Turnstile.
SEO Preservation
Every URL change is mapped with a 301 redirect. We replicate all meta titles, descriptions and Open Graph tags. Your sitemap is regenerated and submitted to Google Search Console. SEO equity is protected throughout.
Deploy & Cutover
The new site is live-tested on a staging domain before cutover. DNS is updated with a low TTL to minimise transition time. We verify all pages, forms and redirects post-launch before signing off. Your WordPress site stays live until we're confident the new one is solid.
What we commit to
No SEO Drop
We map and redirect every URL change. If you see a measurable drop in organic traffic within 60 days of migration, we investigate and fix at no charge.
Zero Downtime Cutover
The new site is fully staged and tested before we touch the live DNS. Typical cutover takes under 30 minutes with no visible downtime.
Content Parity
Every page, blog post and image from your WordPress site is included in the new build. Nothing is lost in migration.
30-Day Post-Launch Support
Any issues found in the 30 days after launch are fixed at no extra cost. We don't consider a migration done until you're satisfied.
