Move a large WordPress archive without losing your rankings.

We move publishers and content-heavy sites off WordPress onto code, with every URL kept or redirected. Mockey moved 328 posts off WordPress on 18 Sep 2026 and now publishes by asking Claude. An editor sends the draft, Claude formats it and opens it for review, and the editor approves it before it goes live. Every build also writes the files AI assistants read, such as llms.txt.

An editor marks up page proofs while a colleague lifts a fresh sheet from the press.

Your stack

What replaces each part of your WordPress site?

Each plugin did one job. In code, that job is part of the site, so there is nothing to license, update or patch.

What is the risk in moving a big archive?

The redirects. Every old URL needs a destination, including the ones only a few readers still find.

We export every URL WordPress knows about, map each one, and check Search Console on day 14 and day 30 for pages that dropped.

After the move, editors publish by sending Claude the draft. Nobody waits on a developer to fix the formatting.

328 posts moved off WordPress on 18 Sep 2026. Mockey’s site stack now costs $0 a month for Astro, GitHub and Cloudflare, and 70% of its site commits were co-authored by Claude from September to October 2026 (319 of 455). Source: Mockey’s git history.

What you get

What changes for publishers after the move?

Migrate

Every page moves, and every old URL still works.

We export your pages, posts, forms and tracking, map each old URL to its new one, and keep the old site up until the new one is live.

  • Every URL kept or redirected
  • Redirect map checked before launch
  • Search Console checked on day 14 and day 30
  • Forms and tracking moved and tested
  • Old site kept until the new one is live

Case study

We moved our own sites first.

Questions publishers ask before they move

How do you keep rankings across thousands of URLs?

Every old URL is exported and mapped to its new address, and the map is checked before launch. We compare Search Console on day 14 and day 30 and fix any page that dropped.

How do editors publish without wp-admin?

They send Claude the draft, in a message or a Google Doc. Claude formats it and opens it for review with a preview link, and an editor approves it.

Do AI assistants pick up the new site?

Every deploy writes llms.txt and schema for each post, so assistants can read the site. Whether they cite it still depends on what the posts say.
