To ditch WordPress: copy every page to static HTML at the same URLs, rewire forms and search, host on a CDN, then delete WordPress and the database. Wordpress Escape does that done-for-you in days. Don't just install Simply Static - that often leaves WordPress running.
Why people ditch WordPress
Security patches, $300/year of plugins, Core Web Vitals that never pass, hacks. All valid. The mistake is burning the site down with the CMS. Remove WordPress, keep the website.
How to ditch it without a science project
Scan → we pick Exit, Assisted, or Rebuild → migrate to Hugo → you get ESC'dashboard → DNS when you say so. Mini from $199. Woo stays hybrid (catalog static, checkout hosted).
What you wake up with
The same URLs. Faster pages. No wp-admin. A WordPress-shaped editor if you want it. Source code you own. That's ditching it.
Free audit, no login. You'll know page count, track, and price before you pay.
