🔄 Migration Workflow
1
Performance Benchmarking
Captured baseline Lighthouse metrics for desktop (93) and mobile (78). Identified performance bottlenecks: heavy JavaScript, oversized assets, and platform-imposed limitations.
2
Static Build Prototype
Rebuilt site architecture in Hugo with Markdown content files. Created reusable templates and optimized all images (60% size reduction). Established GitHub repository for version control.
3
Staging & Testing
Deployed to temporary subdomain on Cloudflare Pages. Iteratively tested performance, validated navigation paths, and refined layouts until parity with Wix design was achieved.
4
DNS Transition
Configured DNS records and SSL certificates. Implemented 301 redirects for all existing URLs. Coordinated cut-over to minimize downtime.
5
Validation & Optimization
Submitted sitemap to Google Search Console. Validated redirect chains and verified Core Web Vitals compliance. Applied final accessibility and contrast enhancements.
💡 Strategic Insight
This migration wasn't just about speed—it was about reclaiming technical autonomy. By moving to a static architecture, I eliminated vendor lock-in, reduced costs to zero, and gained full control over performance, accessibility, and ethical AI transparency.
