Astro vs WordPress: Making the Right Choice

Many London businesses are migrating from WordPress to Astro. Here's why it might be right for you too.

Performance

Astro delivers dramatically faster load times than WordPress, with minimal JavaScript and optimized assets. This translates to better user experience and improved SEO rankings.

Security

WordPress sites are frequent targets for hackers due to their popularity and plugin vulnerabilities. Astro's static nature dramatically reduces security risks and attack surfaces.

Maintenance

WordPress requires constant updates, plugin management, and security patches. Astro sites are simpler to maintain with fewer moving parts and dependencies.

Hosting Costs

WordPress typically requires more expensive hosting for good performance. Astro sites can be hosted on affordable CDNs, potentially saving London businesses significant costs.

Flexibility

While WordPress offers many plugins, Astro provides unmatched flexibility for developers to create exactly what you need without the bloat, using modern web technologies.

SEO Advantage

Google increasingly rewards fast, technically excellent websites. Astro's superior Core Web Vitals scores give your London business a significant edge in search rankings.

Astro Development FAQs for London Businesses

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. For London retailers, this can provide a significant competitive advantage in the crowded online marketplace.

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 London 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. For competitive London 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 for London businesses, 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 London businesses with 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 London 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.
