WordPress to Astro Migration
No plugins,
a site lighter than WordPress.
When to migrate from WordPress to Astro
Migrating from WordPress to Astro means rebuilding the site as light components, then plugging in Sanity for content. WordPress remains solid for a well-maintained site. Astro suits content sites that must load fast.
Plugins pile up and their updates take time every month
Plugin security flaws worry your team
Your site loads slowly despite caching and optimization plugins
You want structured content, linked to its translation
You want to keep a content site, without adding an application

The content carried over from your WordPress site
Pages and templates
Each theme template becomes an Astro component. On noqode.fr, the 476 pages were carried over identically for the visitor.
Posts and content in Sanity
Posts, categories and authors are imported into Sanity types, linked to their translations. Each field is checked after the import.
Addresses and 301 redirects
Addresses that receive traffic are listed in Search Console. For Framboise Consulting, 69 addresses were identified and 65 301 redirects put in place.
SEO tags and structured data
The tags from your SEO plugin are compared page by page after the carry-over. Titles, descriptions and canonical tags are identical across the 479 pages of noqode.fr.
Media and alt text
The WordPress media library is brought over and images are optimized. Their alt text follows them to the new site.
Forms and integrations
Forms are rebuilt and connected to your CRM. On noqode.fr, every qualified request creates the person and the opportunity in Attio.
Migrate to Astro or stay on WordPress
A well-kept WordPress site can stay where it is.
Astro fits when content and speed come first, without an application.

Guided migration
Migrate to Astro if
Your site is a content site with a blog and service pages
You no longer want to follow plugin updates
Your site loads slowly despite caching
You want security that no longer depends on each plugin
Your content benefits from being structured in Sanity
You are reworking the design with the new platform

Your team masters WordPress and evolves it alone
Your site is fast and its updates go smoothly
To plan for
when you leave WordPress
No more plugins to install
Common functions move to code or a dedicated service. Each plugin is listed during the audit, with its replacement.
A different editing space
Your team publishes in the Sanity Studio. On noqode.fr, a publication updates the site within minutes.
Pages generated in advance
The site is built before launch, then served from a delivery network. No database is queried on each visit.
Hosting and security
The site is deployed on Vercel. There is no PHP server, theme or plugin left to monitor.
Comments and member accounts
Astro does not handle member accounts. These needs go through a third-party tool or a Next.js application.
Online stores
We do not migrate WooCommerce stores, because e-commerce is outside the scope of our projects.
Our method for moving from WordPress to Astro
Your WordPress site stays online until launch day.
Audit the WordPress site
We list the installed plugins and the addresses that receive traffic. The audit sets what is carried over and what is dropped.
Structure the content in Sanity
The WordPress export is imported into Sanity types, then checked field by field. The design is approved in Figma.
Rebuild in Astro and compare
Each section becomes an Astro component, compared with the live WordPress site. Each old address receives its 301 redirect.
Launch and monitor
The domain points to the new site once the redirects are tested. We then track indexing in Search Console.

Your questions, our answers
Everything you need to know before starting a project with us.
Why migrate from WordPress to Astro?
Astro removes plugins, generates light pages and connects to Sanity for content. Your site gains in speed and security, and its maintenance shrinks. WordPress remains suitable for a well-kept editorial site.
Astro or Next.js to replace WordPress?
Astro suits fast content sites. Next.js suits applications, logged-in areas and business logic. We choose during the audit, based on what your site must do.
Have you already done a migration to Astro?
Yes, on noqode.fr. The 476-page site migrated from Webflow to Astro and Sanity in 8 days, with no difference in text or SEO. For WordPress, the method stays the same, from audit to launch.
Will my team be able to publish on its own after the migration?
Yes. Your team publishes in the Sanity Studio, and a publication updates the site within minutes. We train it before launch. Our Growth Team can then evolve the site, with no commitment.
How much does a WordPress to Astro migration cost?
Every migration is quoted after a free 30-minute first conversation. The price depends on the number of pages, the volume of posts and the plugins to replace. Hosting comes on top of the project. Our prices are exclusive of tax.
How long does a WordPress to Astro migration take?
A complete site usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, redirects included. A large blog takes longer. We set the timeline after the audit, once the scope is known.
Can you migrate from WordPress to Astro without losing SEO?
Yes, if every address that receives traffic is listed and redirected. For Framboise Consulting, we put 65 301 redirects in place on an 80-page site. On noqode.fr, tags are identical across the 479 pages compared.
Is an Astro site more secure than a WordPress site?
An Astro site is generated in advance and relies on neither a theme nor plugins. Vulnerabilities specific to WordPress plugins disappear. The code and the connected services still have to be maintained.
How much faster is a site after leaving WordPress?
It depends on the starting site. On noqode.fr, migrated to Astro, the median page weight went from 2.7 MB to 0.8 MB, which is 70% less. We measure your site before and after launch.
What happens to my WordPress plugins?
We list every plugin during the audit. Forms, SEO and caching move to code or a service. If an essential plugin has no equivalent, we tell you before we start.
