Should you fix your WordPress siteor stop paying to prop it up?
Every slow WordPress site has a vendor ready to sell it one more plugin. This check reads what your site actually loads, weighs it, and gives you an answer with no plugin attached: keep it, fix it, or move it to Next.js. If moving makes sense, you get a rough number on the spot.

What the check reads
Your home page and your sitemap, the way any visitor’s browser would see them. Nothing is installed and nothing is logged in.
Theme and builder
Which theme draws the site and whether a page builder such as Elementor, Divi or WPBakery sits on top of it.
Plugins on the page
Every plugin that loads files on your home page, by name. Not the ones sitting idle in the dashboard; the ones your visitors pay for.
Speed and weight
How long the server takes to answer, how heavy the HTML is and how many scripts and stylesheets the browser must fetch.
Exposure
Whether the page advertises its WordPress version, which is the first thing automated attack tools look for.
A rough number
When moving makes sense, a cost range from your page count and the published price range, before anyone calls you.
WordPress is fine here
A lean theme, few plugins, a quick server. Keep it updated and keep the plugin list short. Most of what ails WordPress is what gets added to it.
Fix it now, plan the move
Real weight, but nothing on fire. Clear the red items this month and price a Next.js build before the next redesign comes due.
Stop paying to hold it up
A builder, a crowd of plugins and a slow server. Tuning buys months, not years. A Next.js build with a custom CMS removes the causes.

Frequently asked
Each finding adds pressure toward a rebuild: a page builder, a long list of plugins loading on the page, a slow server answer, heavy HTML, dozens of files, an exposed version. Light pressure says keep WordPress and tune it. Moderate says fix the red items and price the move. Heavy says the site will stay slow however much is spent tuning it.
No. It is our published range for a Next.js build with a custom CMS, narrowed by how many pages your sitemap lists. Stores and very large sites are quoted after a call. The fixed price comes after a short conversation about what the site has to do, and every build qualifies for 0% financing.
Not when the move is done properly. Every address either stays the same or is redirected permanently to its new one, titles, descriptions and structured data come across, and we compare search performance before and after. Rankings drop when moves skip those steps, which is a reason to hire carefully, not a reason to stay put.
Yes, and usually more easily. The custom CMS is built around what you actually change, such as services, prices, hours, menus, team and posts, with plain fields instead of a page builder. You cannot break the layout by accident, because the layout is not what you are editing.
Then keep it, and keep it lean: updates on a schedule, a short plugin list, good hosting and caching. We fix and maintain WordPress sites too, and the WordPress Repair hub has guides for the common problems with every major theme and builder. Run the check again in six months.
The check fetches other people's servers on your behalf, so it is protected from bots: you verify an email once with a six-digit code and every tool on the site stays open for thirty days on that browser. We keep the email to follow up once about what the check found.
