A WordPress site audit with migration roadmap is a technical assessment that catalogs every performance bottleneck, security vulnerability, SEO regression, and plugin dependency in your current WordPress installation. Then we model the total cost of ownership for staying on WordPress versus moving to a modern headless framework like Astro, Next.js, or Nuxt. You get hard numbers to make the decision — not gut feelings.

Häufige Fragen
How long does a WordPress site audit take?
Most audits are delivered within 10 business days. Sites with over 10,000 pages or complex multisite configurations may take up to 15. We'll confirm the timeline on our kickoff call once we know your setup and have access sorted.
Do I have to migrate after the audit?
No. The audit and roadmap are yours regardless of what you decide. Plenty of clients use the findings to fix immediate WordPress issues while planning a longer-term migration. Others hand the roadmap to their internal team or a different agency. There's no lock-in.
Which headless framework do you typically recommend?
It depends on your content model, team capabilities, and traffic patterns. Astro's the right call for content-heavy sites with minimal interactivity. Next.js handles complex applications with dynamic data. Nuxt is the stronger choice if your team already works in Vue. We recommend based on your situation, not our preference.
Will the audit affect my live site's performance?
No. Our crawls are throttled so they don't put pressure on your server, and we pull field performance data from Google's CrUX dataset rather than running synthetic load tests against your production environment. We coordinate timing for any server-side checks that need admin access.
How do you calculate the cost of staying on WordPress?
We add up your hosting fees, premium plugin licenses, developer maintenance hours, estimated downtime costs, and the opportunity cost from organic traffic lost to poor Core Web Vitals. Then we model equivalent costs on a headless stack over 12, 24, and 36 months in an editable spreadsheet.
Can you audit a WordPress multisite or WooCommerce installation?
Yes. Multisite and WooCommerce audits are common. WooCommerce adds real complexity around product data migration, payment gateway compatibility, and checkout performance — we address all of that specifically in the roadmap. These audits typically land at the higher end of our pricing range.
