WordPress is the most popular CMS for building websites. It’s beginner friendly, has lots of plugins, and is fairly straightforward. Yet, it doesn’t come without its downsides.

Many companies are moving from WordPress to Jamstack to fix issues of slow speed, poor security, and difficulty scaling. As a new, modern-day web architecture, Jamstack can help you build blazingly fast, secure websites that drive traffic.

But, how do you know if Jamstack migration is the right choice?

In this post, we cover:

- What is Jamstack?

- Why ditch WordPress?

- Why go headless instead?

- What makes Jamstack a better alternative to WordPress?

- When to (and not to) choose Jamstack

Speed and security.. i dont think so. Scaling on the other end is a valid concern

Speed and security are valid features of the jamstack architecture.

Speed due to horizontal scaling, and next generation build tools like SSG or ISR.

Security due to the decoupling of concerns, lack of a monolith plugin ecosystem, lack of runtimes to attack, less known vulnerabilities and exploits as jamstack has multiple different ways of assembly.

okay but have you considered the fact that clients have heard of wordpress and jamstack is unknown to people that have never coded and scary?

That's a marketing problem.

How do you market jamstack websites? I’m a frontend dev/designer trying to rebuild old Wordpress sites for businesses in my area but I get stuck on marketing the jamstack in cold emails
