Why teams leave WordPress

Why teams leave WordPress

  • The maintenance never stops

    Core updates, plugin updates, theme updates, security patches, PHP version upgrades, database optimization. WordPress demands constant attention just to stay functional. That's infrastructure work masquerading as content management.

  • Plugin dependency is a house of cards

    Critical features rely on third-party plugins that break on updates, conflict with each other, or get abandoned by maintainers. One plugin update can take down your site, and debugging the conflict costs hours you don't have.

  • Performance degrades over time

    Database-driven rendering, heavy themes, and plugin bloat slow your site down. Caching plugins add complexity without solving the root cause. Your Core Web Vitals suffer, and so does your search ranking.

  • You're a target

    WordPress powers 40%+ of the web, making it the most targeted CMS for attacks. Every plugin and theme introduces potential attack surfaces. Security monitoring isn't optional; it's constant.

What you gain with Sanity

  • Zero maintenance overhead

    Sanity is a fully managed platform. The infrastructure handles patches, updates, and security monitoring. Your content team doesn’t touch any of it.

  • API-first, not database-first

    Content delivered through a global CDN-backed API instead of database queries. Faster page loads, better Core Web Vitals, and no caching layer to configure and debug.

  • Structured content, not page blobs

    Break free from WordPress's page-centric model. Content stored as structured, queryable data that works across your website, mobile app, email, and any future channel.

  • No attack surface

    Sanity runs on managed infrastructure with no publicly exposed server or database. There’s no plugin attack surface because there are no server-side plugins. Your team focuses on content.

Modern developer experience

TypeScript schemas, GROQ queries, and a React-based Studio instead of PHP templates, hooks, and the WordPress loop. Your developers work in the same stack as the rest of your application.

Full revision history

Every change tracked with complete revision history. No more 'who deleted that paragraph' mysteries. Roll back any document to any previous state.

How we migrate from WordPress

We extract everything from your WordPress database and rebuild it as clean, structured Sanity content. Your WordPress site stays live until the new site is ready.

1

WordPress export

We export your posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, media library, and metadata using the WordPress REST API or direct database export, whichever captures more of your content structure.

2

Content mapping

We map WordPress post types, categories, tags, ACF fields, and custom taxonomies to Sanity document types and schemas. You review the mapping before we transform anything.

3

Content transformation

We convert Gutenberg blocks and classic editor HTML to Sanity Portable Text. Formatting, embedded media, shortcodes, and internal links are all handled.

4

Media migration

Your media library moves to Sanity's asset pipeline with metadata, alt text, and file organization preserved. No broken images, no missing thumbnails.

5

Frontend development

We build your new frontend in Next.js or your framework of choice. Your existing design carries over, or we improve it. Your call.

6

Testing and launch

Full QA, 301 redirects from every old WordPress URL, side-by-side content comparison, and zero-downtime DNS cutover. We monitor for 48 hours post-launch.
