We migrated our entire blog from WordPress to Next.js. Our Lighthouse score went from 45 to 98, and the performance difference was immediately noticeable.

The Full Story

When we first built our platform, WordPress was the obvious choice. But as we scaled to 100,000+ monthly readers, performance became a bottleneck. Our WordPress site was running on a managed hosting plan, yet we were still seeing 3-4 second load times. Optimization plugins were just band-aids. We decided to try the migration. The tool exported our posts to MDX efficiently. Setting up the Next.js project took less time than debugging our old caching plugin. The results were impressive: - Page load time: 3.2s → 0.8s - Hosting cost: Significantly reduced - Developer experience: Much improved Our bounce rate dropped visibly in the first month. The best part? We no longer worry about plugin security updates.

Lead Developer at WordPress Agency

We were spending too many hours a month just on WordPress maintenance. With our Next.js setup, we focus on building features, not updating plugins.

The Full Story

As an agency, we manage over 15 sites for clients. The maintenance burden was real. Every week: plugin updates, security patches, backup verification. We had a junior dev dedicated almost entirely to maintenance. After migrating our first client to Next.js using LeaveWP, we saw the potential. Now we offer "Headless Migration" as a service. Clients love the speed, and we love the stability.

Founder at Creative Studio

I was worried about my SEO rankings. Three months later, our organic traffic is actually up. Google seems to prefer the faster site.

The Full Story

My portfolio site had been on WordPress for years. It had decent rankings, so I was hesitant to move it. But the site was slow. Clients would sometimes mention it. I used LeaveWP to migrate to Astro. The process was straightforward for a content-heavy site. The SEO results: - Rankings maintained or improved - Organic traffic increased - Core Web Vitals are now all green I think the speed improvements really helped.

When our blog post went viral, our Next.js site handled the traffic spike perfectly. On our old setup, we would have likely crashed.
