TL;DR

You can migrate from Storyblok to Qwik for free using LeaveWP. Enter your site URL, choose Qwik as the destination, and download your content — posts, pages, and media — in minutes. No API keys, passwords, or CLI tools required. Difficulty: Medium. Estimated time: 20-40 minutes.

Why Teams Leave Storyblok

Headless CMS with visual editor for component-based sites. Teams wanting headless CMS power with a true visual editing experience, but these limitations push teams toward modern alternatives.

Paid plans are expensive — jumps from free to $106/month

This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Storyblok. Qwik eliminates this issue entirely.

Visual editor setup requires specific SDK integration work

With Qwik, resumability eliminates hydration — near-instant interactivity.

API rate limits on lower tiers can be restrictive

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

Migrating away from Storyblok requires significant effort

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

What Qwik Brings to the Table

Is Storyblok to Qwik the Right Move for You?

Migrating from Storyblok to Qwik makes the most sense if you're experiencing paid plans are expensive — jumps from free to $106/month or outgrowing Storyblok's architecture. Qwik is best for performance-obsessed teams building sites where time to interactive is critical.

You should migrate if: your Storyblok 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 Storyblok site benefits from visual editor shows live preview of your actual frontend and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team. Storyblok is genuinely easy to use, and that simplicity has value.

The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Storyblok URL, select Qwik, and download your content. The more important question is whether Qwik'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 Storyblok to Qwik?
Most migrations from Storyblok complete in 20-40 minutes. We pull content via Storyblok's Content Delivery API, then structured for Qwik. Complex sites with extensive custom fields may take longer.
Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from Storyblok?
No. We help you set up proper 301 redirects from your old Storyblok URLs to preserve search rankings. Qwik actually tends to improve Core Web Vitals scores, which can boost rankings over time.
What Storyblok content can be migrated to Qwik?
Storyblok content types like stories, components, assets, datasources are all migrated to Qwik. Content is converted to Markdown/MDX files or structured for your chosen headless CMS.
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 Qwik site afterward will benefit from JavaScript/TypeScript 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 Qwik site after migrating from Storyblok?
Qwik sites can be deployed to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any Node.js host — often on generous free tiers. Compared to Storyblok's Free / $106+/month pricing, static Qwik sites can be hosted for free on Vercel or Netlify (up to generous bandwidth limits), which is significantly cheaper than running a Storyblok instance.
Can I migrate Storyblok custom fields and metadata to Qwik?
Yes. Custom fields, metadata, and taxonomies from Storyblok are preserved during migration. In Qwik, these become frontmatter fields in your Markdown/MDX files, which you can extend or restructure to fit your content model.
