WordPress powers a lot of B2B sites. It also slows them down. Migrating to headless can fix that. Here’s when and how.
When to Migrate
- Speed — WordPress is slow. You need sub-second loads.
- Custom experience — Themes limit you. You need custom flows.
- Scale — Traffic spikes. WordPress can’t handle it.
- Security — WordPress is a target. Headless reduces attack surface.
What to Preserve
- URLs — 301 redirect every old URL to new. Preserve SEO.
- Content — Migrate all. Don’t lose blog posts, pages.
- Structure — Categories, tags, metadata. Carry it over.
The Process
- Content export — WordPress API or export. Get structured data.
- New frontend — Astro, Next.js. Fetch from WordPress API or migrate to new CMS.
- Redirect map — Old URL → new URL. Every page.
- Launch — Flip. Redirects live. Monitor.
