Your WordPress Site Is Bleeding Traffic While You Sleep

If you're a marketing director in LA watching page speed erode your rankings, you've reached the rebuild moment.

We migrate WordPress sites to headless Next.js -- full SEO preservation, 301 redirect mapping, and zero downtime. Built for LA companies that can't afford to watch their rankings disappear.

WordPress to Next.js Migration

WordPress migration is the process of moving your existing WordPress content, URL structure, and SEO signals into a modern headless Next.js architecture. Every redirect, canonical tag, and metadata entry is mapped and validated before the domain cutover. The result is a statically generated or server-rendered site that loads measurably faster and eliminates the plugin attack surface WordPress carries by default.

What is holding your current website back?

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Page speed scores below 70 on mobile are suppressing your organic rankings and pushing paid traffic to a site that converts poorly.
Risk: Google's Core Web Vitals are a confirmed ranking signal. A slow WordPress site compounds the problem every day it stays live, eroding positions that take months to recover.
Outdated plugins and themes create exploitable vulnerabilities that shared-hosting environments cannot fully patch or monitor.
Risk: A single compromised plugin can result in malware injection, Google blacklisting, and complete removal from search results — often with no warning and no quick path back.
Your development team spends hours each month managing WordPress updates, plugin conflicts, and hosting incidents instead of shipping features.
Risk: Maintenance overhead competes directly with roadmap work. As the site grows more complex, the conflict and downtime rate increases, not decreases.

How We Build This Right

Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.

Full 301 Redirect Preservation

Every existing URL is audited and mapped to its Next.js equivalent before cutover. No redirect chain is left broken, and no organic equity is abandoned during the transition.

Zero Plugin Attack Surface

Headless Next.js eliminates the WordPress plugin layer entirely. There are no PHP execution paths, no wp-admin endpoints, and no third-party plugin code running on your production domain.

Verified Core Web Vitals Benchmarks

We run Lighthouse and CrUX field data checks against agreed performance thresholds before go-live. If LCP, CLS, or INP targets are not met in staging, we do not cut over.

What We Build

Purpose-built features for your industry.

Headless Content Architecture

Content is decoupled from the presentation layer and served through a structured CMS API — Sanity, Contentful, or a headless WordPress REST layer — giving editors a familiar interface while the front end runs on Next.js.

SEO Signal Continuity Audit

Before a single line of code is written, we crawl your existing site, extract every indexed URL, canonical, hreflang, and structured data block, and produce a migration map that the engineering team works from line by line.

Zero-Downtime Cutover Protocol

Production DNS is switched only after staging has passed automated redirect validation, Google Search Console verification, and a manual QA pass. Traffic never hits an incomplete or broken state.

Fixed-Fee Pricing With Free Pre-Migration Audit

Every engagement starts with a no-cost technical audit that documents page count, redirect complexity, and CMS dependencies. The fixed fee is set after the audit, so there are no scope surprises mid-project.

Our Development Process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Pre-Migration Technical Audit

1 week

We crawl your WordPress site, export every URL, redirect, metadata field, and plugin dependency, then produce a written scope document that defines risk areas, redirect volume, and CMS replacement requirements.

02

Next.js Build and CMS Configuration

2-4 weeks

Engineers build the Next.js front end against a staging domain, configure the headless CMS, and port all content. Every page template is tested against your existing analytics events and conversion tracking setup.

03

Redirect Validation and SEO QA

1 week

Automated crawlers verify that every 301 resolves correctly in staging. Structured data, canonical tags, Open Graph metadata, and sitemap outputs are reviewed against the pre-migration audit document before sign-off.

04

Production Cutover and Post-Launch Monitoring

1-2 weeks

DNS is updated during a low-traffic window. We monitor Google Search Console crawl errors, Core Web Vitals field data, and server logs for 30 days post-launch and resolve any indexing anomalies that surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. We build a complete 301 redirect map covering every URL before launch. Structured data, canonical URLs, meta tags, and XML sitemaps get rebuilt and verified in Search Console. Then we monitor crawl errors and index coverage for 60 days to catch any fluctuations early.
Simple content sites take 3-4 weeks. Business sites with custom functionality run 5-7 weeks. WooCommerce migrations with catalog pages, payment integrations, and inventory typically take 6-10 weeks. Enterprise sites with 1,000+ pages can stretch to 8-12 weeks depending on complexity.
Every plugin gets replaced with a purpose-built integration or native Next.js functionality. Contact forms connect to dedicated form services, search moves to Algolia, analytics use lightweight scripts, and auth runs through proper identity providers. You go from 18+ plugin dependencies to zero.
No. The audit phase looks at your content structure, editorial workflow, and team size to figure out which headless CMS actually fits. Sanity works well for developer-heavy teams, Contentful suits larger editorial operations, and there are other solid options -- we'll walk you through them based on your situation.
During DNS cutover, your WordPress site stays live in read-only mode as a fallback while Next.js starts serving traffic. No maintenance window, no error pages. We keep WordPress accessible for 30-60 days as a safety net before full decommission.
Fixed-fee projects start at $6,000 for content sites under 50 pages. Business sites with custom integrations typically run $8,000-$14,000. E-commerce migrations range from $14,000-$25,000+ depending on catalog size and payment complexity. Every quote includes 60-day post-launch monitoring and support.
