Original: How I migrated a WordPress site to Cloudflare Pages using AI (and what broke)

Short summary

A developer migrated a WordPress site to Cloudflare Pages using Claude to automate content transformation and code generation, deploying with Astro for zero cold starts and global edge performance. The migration path included converting WordPress HTML to Markdown frontmatter, generating migration scripts, and replacing Contact Form 7 with FormRoute for form handling. Common gotchas: shortcodes need manual review, media file handling, and form submissions require a backend service since static sites can't process PHP.

  • Used Claude to automate WordPress-to-static content migration and script generation
  • Deployed with Astro to Cloudflare Pages for zero cold starts and free edge hosting
  • Replaced WordPress forms with FormRoute to handle submissions on static site

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
