Migrating from WooCommerce to Nuxt makes the most sense if you're experiencing wordpress + woocommerce + plugins = slow page loads or outgrowing WooCommerce's architecture. Nuxt is best for vue.js teams building content sites or full-stack applications.
You should migrate if: your WooCommerce 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 WooCommerce site benefits from inherits wordpress's massive ecosystem of themes and plugins and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team.
The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your WooCommerce URL, select Nuxt, and download your content. The more important question is whether Nuxt's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.
