Sentry's WordPress to Astro migration re-platforms your site to a fast, static Astro front end on Cloudflare — with or without Sanity as a headless CMS — keeping the design and content faithful while removing the plugins, the PHP and most of the attack surface.

Keep the content and editing you know; lose the bloat, the plugins and the attack surface. We re-platform your WordPress site to a fast, static Astro front end on Cloudflare — with or without Sanity as a modern headless CMS — faithful to the design, faster and far safer.

## What it does

Re-platforms a WordPress site to a static, edge-served Astro front end (optionally with Sanity as a headless CMS) — faithful to the design, stripped of plugin bloat and attack surface.

## Where it creates value

The conversion-and-trust surface, rebuilt: every second of load time and every vulnerability removed is a direct gain in conversion, SEO and reputation — without losing the content you already own.

## Why it cannot be ignored

A plugin-heavy WordPress site is the most-attacked software on the web and a silent tax on speed and SEO. Every month on it is conversion lost to slow pages and a breach waiting on an unpatched plugin.

## What you get

- **Faithful, faster** — Pixel-faithful rebuild on Astro — typically sub-second, with SEO and structure preserved and improved.
- **With or without Sanity** — Keep editing in a modern headless CMS (Sanity), or go fully static — your workflow, your call.
- **Flat & secure** — Edge-served on Cloudflare — no PHP, no plugin attack surface, almost nothing left to attack.

## Questions and answers

### Will the site still look the same after migrating from WordPress?

Yes — the rebuild is pixel-faithful, with SEO and structure preserved and improved rather than recreated. A migration that also redesigns the site makes it impossible to tell which change caused a drop in performance, which is why Sentry keeps the two apart.

### How will our team edit the site without WordPress admin?

Either through Sanity, a modern headless CMS that gives editors a clean authoring experience, or fully static if the content rarely changes. It is your workflow and your call — the migration does not force an editing model on a team that already has one that works.

### Why move off WordPress at all?

A plugin-heavy WordPress site is the most-attacked software on the web and a silent tax on speed and SEO. Every month on it is conversion lost to slow pages and a breach waiting on an unpatched plugin. Astro on Cloudflare removes the PHP and the plugin surface entirely.

### How much faster will the site actually be?

Typically sub-second, because there is no server or database assembling the page when a visitor arrives — the HTML already exists and is served from Cloudflare's edge. The gain comes from the architecture rather than from tuning, which is why it holds under load.

### What happens to our search rankings?

Content, structure, redirects and SEO are carried across deliberately as part of the migration, and page speed improves, which search engines reward. The risk in any re-platform is an incomplete redirect map, so that is built from what actually exists rather than from what the sitemap claims.

### Do we lose anything by leaving WordPress?

You lose the plugins, which is usually the point — but if a plugin is doing genuine work, that capability is identified in Discovery and rebuilt rather than dropped. Migrating first and discovering the gap afterwards is the failure mode this avoids.
