Why Teams Leave Wix

Poor Core Web Vitals — heavy JavaScript bundle slows pages

No way to export your site or move to another host

Absolute positioning makes responsive design brittle

Performance degrades significantly with apps and animations

What Next.js Brings to the Table

Hybrid rendering — SSG, SSR, ISR, and client-side in one app

Most popular React framework with massive community

Built-in image optimization, API routes, and middleware

Optimized for Vercel but deploys anywhere (Node.js, Docker)

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my Wix site go offline during migration?

No — the migration is completely non-destructive. You build and preview your new Next.js site while your Wix site stays live for visitors. Once the new site is ready and tested, you update your DNS records to point to the new host (Vercel, Netlify, etc.). The DNS change typically propagates within minutes, so your visitors experience zero downtime during the switch.
