Migrating from Agility CMS to VuePress makes the most sense if you're experiencing smaller community and ecosystem than major headless cms options or outgrowing Agility CMS's architecture. VuePress is best for technical documentation sites in the vue.js ecosystem.
You should migrate if: your Agility CMS site is slow, your hosting costs are climbing, you need developer flexibility, or you want to adopt a modern JAMstack architecture.
You might want to stay if: your Agility CMS site benefits from page management and sitemap built into the headless cms and you don't have JavaScript developers on your team. Agility CMS is genuinely easy to use, and that simplicity has value.
The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Agility CMS URL, select VuePress, and download your content. The more important question is whether VuePress's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.
