A rebuild is not automatically the answer. Most sites that feel broken have one or two specific causes, and identifying them is cheaper than replacing the whole thing. Where a rebuild is genuinely required, the migration has to be treated as a project of its own.
What is usually needed.
These layers are what this objective normally requires. They are not a quote, and you are not expected to need all of them.
Diagnosis
Measured findings on what is actually slow, broken or unreachable, before any decision is taken.
Measurement-led removal of the specific work that makes a WordPress site slow.
Fixing the parts of a site that decide whether search engines can use it at all.
Remediation
Targeted repair of the identified causes, with a restore path established first.
Measurement-led removal of the specific work that makes a WordPress site slow.
Hardening and monitoring of a WordPress install, with a written boundary between protection and intrusion response.
Backups that have been restored at least once, because an untested backup is only a hypothesis.
Recurring work that keeps an install patched, current and reversible.
What may or
may not apply.
Each of these is contingent. Whether any of it is needed depends on your situation, and the right answer is sometimes none of them.
Rebuild
Where the diagnosis shows the platform itself is the constraint.
A site that has to stay correct for years
Moving an existing WordPress site onto a new host or architecture without losing content, URLs or behaviour.
WordPress retained as the editorial system while delivery moves to an edge-rendered frontend.
Editorial system
Where the difficulty is publishing rather than serving pages.
Recovery planning
Essential where the site has already been compromised.
Backups that have been restored at least once, because an untested backup is only a hypothesis.
Hardening and monitoring of a WordPress install, with a written boundary between protection and intrusion response.
NEXT STEP
Describe what is failing, when it started, and who maintains the site today.
Nothing on this page carries a price, a delivery window or an outcome claim. Those follow from a scope, and a scope follows from a conversation.
