Astro vs WordPress: Making the Right Choice
Some businesses migrate from WordPress to Astro for speed and simplicity. Others stay on WordPress for editorial workflows. We can help you choose the right fit.
Astro delivers dramatically faster load times than WordPress, with minimal JavaScript and optimized assets. This translates to better user experience and improved SEO rankings.
Astro's static nature reduces the attack surface. WordPress can also be secure with good hosting, careful plugin choices, and a solid update routine (which we can manage).
Astro sites are typically simpler to maintain. WordPress needs ongoing updates and plugin management—but it can be a great choice when a traditional CMS matters.
If your team needs to publish and edit content frequently, WordPress offers a familiar admin experience. For content-first sites with fewer moving parts, Astro is often ideal.
While WordPress offers many plugins, Astro provides unmatched flexibility for developers to create exactly what you need without the bloat, using modern web technologies.
Google increasingly rewards fast, technically excellent websites. Astro's superior Core Web Vitals scores give your business a significant edge in search rankings.
Astro Development FAQs
Common questions about building websites with Astro.
Is Astro suitable for e-commerce websites?
Yes, Astro is excellent for building fast e-commerce storefronts, especially when paired with headless commerce platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, or custom solutions. Its performance focus enhances user experience and conversions and can provide a significant competitive advantage in crowded online marketplaces.
How does content management work with Astro?
Astro works beautifully with various content management approaches. For non-technical teams, we typically implement a user-friendly headless CMS (like Strapi, Sanity, or DecapCMS) with a visual editor. For more technical users, content can be managed through Markdown files in a git-based workflow. We'll recommend the best approach based on your team's specific needs and technical comfort level.
Will an Astro website help our SEO?
Absolutely. Astro websites typically achieve perfect or near-perfect Google Lighthouse scores for performance, accessibility, and SEO best practices. Google's ranking algorithm heavily favors fast-loading sites with good Core Web Vitals scores, which Astro excels at. In competitive markets, this performance advantage can translate to significantly improved search rankings and organic traffic.
How difficult is migrating from WordPress to Astro?
With the right partner, migration can be smooth and methodical. We handle the entire process, including content transfer, URL structure preservation (for SEO), and design implementation. The migration is typically done in phases to ensure minimal disruption to your business. The performance, security, and maintenance benefits after migration make it a worthwhile investment for most businesses.
How long does it take to build an Astro website?
Project timelines vary based on complexity. A basic informational site might take 4-6 weeks, while more complex projects with custom functionality could take 8-12 weeks or more. Our hybrid UK-India model allows us to work efficiently, providing a cost-effective solution without compromising quality. We'll provide a detailed timeline after understanding your specific requirements.
What happens if we need to make changes to our Astro site?
We provide several options for businesses to manage their Astro sites. For content updates, we implement user-friendly CMS solutions that non-technical staff can easily use. For design or functional changes, our support packages include regular update hours, or we can train your team if you have in-house developers. The modular nature of Astro makes future enhancements straightforward and cost-effective.
