How to migrate from WordPress to Astro
2-5 days
Use Astro's WordPress integration -- `npm create astro@latest`, then add `@astrojs/wordpress` and point it at your WordPress REST API. Astro pulls posts via the API at build time and renders static HTML. You keep WordPress as a headless CMS for editors; Astro becomes the front-end. Plan a few days for theme/component rebuild + permalink redirects.
How to migrate from WordPress to Ghost
4-8 hours
Install the official `ghost` exporter plugin in WordPress and run it to produce a JSON export. In Ghost Admin go to Settings -> Labs -> Import Content and upload the JSON. Then redirect old WordPress permalinks at your reverse proxy, migrate subscribers via Ghost's CSV import, and pick a Ghost theme. Plan a half-day for content under 500 posts; longer if you have heavy WooCommerce or custom post types.
How to migrate from WordPress to Hugo
1-3 days
Export your WordPress posts to Markdown via the `wp2hugo` exporter or the `wordpress-to-hugo-exporter` PHP plugin (produces a tarball of `content/posts/*.md` with YAML frontmatter). Drop those into a Hugo theme's `content/` directory, redirect old permalinks at your CDN/host, and ship as static files. You're trading dynamic features (search, comments, forms) for a 10x performance gain and a static-host bill near zero.
