Leaving WordPress

Outgrown WordPress? Move without the headache.

If your WordPress site has become slow, fiddly to maintain, or just more than you need, I'll move you to something faster and simpler, keeping every page and all your hard-earned search rankings. Senior developer, Hull and Yorkshire.

When WordPress is more than you need

WordPress runs a huge share of the web, and for a lot of sites it's exactly the right tool. I help people get more out of it every week. But some sites outgrow it: the updates pile up, the speed drops, and keeping it secure becomes a job in itself. If you've reached that point, moving to a leaner setup keeps everything you've written and all the rankings you've earned, while giving you a site that loads faster and needs far less looking after. And if WordPress is still the right home for you, I'll tell you that. I'd rather you spent the money in the right place.

What you'll gain

What you gain when you've genuinely outgrown WordPress

Loads in under a second

Pages that appear almost instantly on any device. Better for visitors, and better for your Google ranking.

Far less to get hacked

No public admin login exposed to the world and far less to keep patched. A much smaller target.

Still easy to edit

You keep a simple editor for your pages, posts and images. The part of WordPress you actually liked, without the upkeep.

Hardly any upkeep

No constant stream of updates to install and test. The site just keeps working in the background.

Rankings preserved

Your URLs are mapped and redirected so the search positions you've worked for move across with you.

Cheaper to run

Lighter hosting that costs a fraction of typical WordPress hosting and shrugs off traffic spikes.
