Why Teams Leave Magento

Enterprise PHP e-commerce platform (now Adobe Commerce). Large e-commerce operations with complex catalog and B2B needs, but these limitations push teams toward modern alternatives.

Requires beefy servers — very resource-hungry application

This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Magento. Remix eliminates this issue entirely.

Development and maintenance costs are very high

With Remix, built on web standards — forms, headers, and http conventions.

Complex architecture requires specialized Magento developers

Modern architectures like Remix are designed to avoid this from the ground up.

Open-source version lacks many features of paid Adobe Commerce

After migrating, you'll no longer need to worry about this — Remix takes a fundamentally different approach.

What Remix Brings to the Table

Full-stack React framework built on web standards. Built with JavaScript/TypeScript (React), it's full-stack web applications that benefit from web-standard patterns.

Built on web standards — forms, headers, and HTTP conventions

Nested routing with parallel data loading (no waterfalls)

Excellent error handling with error boundaries at every route

Works on any JavaScript runtime (Node.js, Deno, Cloudflare Workers)

Remix is open-source and free to use. You own your code and data with no vendor lock-in. Deploy to any host that supports JavaScript/TypeScript, or use managed platforms like Vercel and Netlify for zero-config deployments.

Is Magento to Remix the Right Move for You?

Migrating from Magento to Remix makes the most sense if you're experiencing requires beefy servers — very resource-hungry application or outgrowing Magento's architecture. Remix is best for full-stack web applications that benefit from web-standard patterns.

You should migrate if: your Magento site is slow, your hosting costs are climbing, your store needs a custom frontend, or you want to adopt a modern JAMstack architecture.

You might want to stay if: your Magento site benefits from extremely flexible product catalog — handles complex b2b and b2c and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team.

The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Magento URL, select Remix, and download your content. The more important question is whether Remix's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to migrate from Magento to Remix?

Magento migrations are more complex due to product data, customer records, and order history. Expect 1-3 hours for a typical site. Simpler sites finish faster, while large sites with custom functionality may need additional configuration.

Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from Magento?

No. We help you set up proper 301 redirects from your old Magento URLs to preserve search rankings. Remix actually tends to improve Core Web Vitals scores, which can boost rankings over time.

What Magento content can be migrated to Remix?

Products, categories, customer data, blog posts, and pages can all be migrated. Order history and payment configurations will need manual setup on Remix since those are platform-specific.

Do I need JavaScript/TypeScript experience to migrate?

No coding experience is required for the migration itself — LeaveWP handles the export and conversion automatically. However, customizing your Remix site afterward will benefit from JavaScript/TypeScript (React) knowledge. For teams without that expertise, the generated code is well-structured and documented, making it approachable for developers of any level.

How much does it cost to host a Remix site after migrating from Magento?

Remix sites can be deployed to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any Node.js host — often on generous free tiers. Compared to Magento's Free (open source) / $22K+/year (Adobe Commerce) pricing, static Remix sites can be hosted for free on Vercel or Netlify (up to generous bandwidth limits), which is significantly cheaper than running a PHP server.

Can I migrate Magento custom fields and metadata to Remix?

Product attributes, variants, and custom metadata are mapped during migration. Remix-specific fields (like React routes, loaders/actions) can be configured after the initial export to match your catalog structure.
