WordPress to Next.js migration
Most WordPress sites we see are slow because of plugins and themes nobody dares to remove, and fragile because updates break them. We move the content to a static Next.js build, keep every URL that earns traffic, and give editors Payload CMS when they need one.
What you get
- Content export from WordPress, cleaned, with images re-encoded and alt text kept
- Every old URL mapped: kept, redirected with a 301, or retired with a 410, and checked after launch
- Static Next.js pages with the same or better structure, titles and structured data
- Payload CMS for editors when the team needs a visual editor; plain content files when it does not
- Deploy pipeline, hosting with a CDN in front, and the WordPress site kept running until the new one is verified
How WordPress to Next.js migration runs with us
Inventory
Crawl the old site, list every URL with its traffic and links, and decide page by page: keep, merge, redirect or retire.
Rebuild
Templates for each page type, content migrated and cleaned, the redirect map wired into the new site, all on a staging URL.
Switch and watch
DNS or proxy switch outside your busy hours, the old site kept as fallback, Search Console watched for a month.
Good fit if
- Your WordPress site is slow and plugin updates scare you
- You pay for a page builder and a dozen plugins to get a site that still scores badly
- You want to keep your rankings while replacing the stack
What we need from you
- WordPress admin access or an export
- Analytics or Search Console access so we know which URLs matter
- A list of what you never liked about the old site
Questions we get about WordPress to Next.js migration
Will we lose rankings?
Not if the URL map is done properly and the content stays or improves. We keep every URL that has traffic, redirect the rest one to one, and watch Search Console after the switch.
Can our team still edit pages?
Yes. Payload CMS gives editors a clean admin without the plugin zoo. For sites that change a few times a year, plain content files with a preview are cheaper and safer.
Have you actually done this?
muaythaitickets.net was a WordPress site before we rebuilt it on Next.js with Payload and Stripe. The case study shows what changed.
