Migrating to a static website: Astro, performance and cost of ownership
A static website is a site whose pages are generated in advance, at publication time, then served as they are by a CDN: no database and no code executed on each visit. With a generator like Astro, it replaces an ageing WordPress or Drupal without changing addresses or content.
This category covers migrating WordPress to a static website, leaving end-of-life Drupal 7, the advantages of Astro over classic CMSs and application frameworks, the Core Web Vitals a static site turns green without exotic effort, and what a website really costs to own over three years: hosting, updates, security, vendor. It also covers the only question that matters in a migration: how to keep your rankings when everything under the hood changes.
