Weebly to Next.js Migration
Your Weebly Site Is Quietly Being Orphaned — Square Stopped Caring
Why leave Weebly?
- Square stopped shipping new Weebly features — development timeline went dark in Q1 2025
- Security patches arrive weeks late because the platform team was reassigned to Square POS
- Third-party integrations break silently — Zapier webhooks time out, payment gateways deprecate APIs
- Export your content through manual copy-paste — no programmatic API exists for bulk migration
- Lighthouse mobile scores locked at 40-60 because the rendering engine never receives performance updates
- Platform sunset risk compounds quarterly — every earnings call mentions 'portfolio optimisation'
What you gain
- Lighthouse 95-100 on every page because Next.js pre-renders HTML and optimises images automatically
- Own your codebase outright — deploy to any host, switch providers in 8 minutes, never locked in
- TypeScript on Next.js 15 — actively maintained with 400k+ weekly downloads and Vercel backing
- Build custom checkout flows, member dashboards, API integrations without platform permission gates
- Host on Vercel Hobby (free) or Netlify Starter ($0) up to 100GB bandwidth — then $20/month vs Weebly's $38
- Migrate on your schedule with content preserved — not when Square sends the 90-day shutdown email
Square 在 2018 年收購了 Weebly，此後一直悄悄地將使用者引導至 Square Online。Weebly 的新功能開發已放緩至蝸牛般的速度。跡象很明顯：Weebly 正在日落，等到最後一刻才遷移意味著在壓力下遷移，而不是按照自己的時間表。
當一個平臺被降優先級時，會發生三件事：安全補丁速度減慢、錯誤無人修復、第三方整合停止維護。如果您的業務依賴 Weebly 網站，風險會隨著每個月的等待而複合增長。現在遷移意味著按照您的時間表遷移，而不是按照 Square 的。
Weebly 提供網站內容的 HTML 匯出。我將此與結構化提取相結合以捕獲所有頁面、部落格文章和商店資料。網站在 Next.js 中重建，內容位於 Supabase 或 Sanity 中。每個 URL 都通過 301 重定向進行保留。SEO 元資料完全轉移。

Common questions
Weebly 真的要關閉嗎？
Square 尚未宣佈正式關閉日期，但新功能開發已實際停止。Square 正在將使用者引導至 Square Online。這種模式與其他平臺日落相符——投資減少先於最終生命週期結束。主動遷移的壓力明顯小於在截止期限下遷移。
您如何從 Weebly 匯出內容？
Weebly 提供基本的 HTML 匯出。我將此與結構化內容提取相結合以捕獲所有頁面、部落格文章、影像和中繼資料。商店產品通過 Weebly API 或直接提取進行匯出。在匯入前驗證所有內容。
我的 Weebly 線上商店會發生什麼？
產品、變體、影像和描述遷移至 Shopify（用於託管商務）或自訂 Next.js + Stripe 設定。訂單歷史記錄可匯出以供您保存。新商店將更快且更可自訂。
遷移需要多長時間？
標準 Weebly 網站（10-25 頁、部落格、聯絡表單）需要 3-5 週。帶有電子商務的網站額外需要 2-3 週。我在開始前提供固定的時間表和價格。
我的 Google 排名能否在遷移中倖存？
是的。我為每個 URL 實施 301 重定向、保留所有 SEO 中繼資料並提交更新的網站地圖。排名通常在 2-4 週內保持穩定，並在 60-90 天內因更好的 Core Web Vitals 而改善。
我可以改為遷移至 Square Online 嗎？
您可以，但 Square Online 有其自身的局限性——受限的自訂、強制 Square 品牌和有限的 SEO 控制。如果您已經在遷移，移動至您完全擁有的平臺（Next.js）相比於從一個圍牆花園移動到另一個，能為您提供更多長期價值。
