Preview your WordPress site as an Astro site
Request a live preview of your public WordPress site, rebuilt in Astro and hosted on DeployHQ Sites. Compare it with the original before you decide anything. Your WordPress site isn't changed.
Early access is limited. Free to request. Using Framer instead? Preview your Framer site.
Illustrative. Previews run on DeployHQ Sites, are unlisted and marked noindex, and unclaimed previews expire.
How it works
Three steps, and nothing gets installed on your WordPress site.
Request a preview
Enter your public site URL and confirm you're allowed to share it.
We build it as an Astro site
Static pages from your public content. You'll get a list of what didn't convert.
Open your preview on DeployHQ Sites
Compare it with your original. Claim it by creating a DeployHQ account, or let it expire.
What to expect
The preview shows you which parts moved across and which need a replacement, so you know before you commit to anything.
Usually converts
- Pages and posts
- Images
- Menus
- Metadata
Needs a replacement
- Forms and site search
- Comments
- Shops and bookings
- Member accounts and plugin-driven features
Good first fit: sites that are mostly pages and posts, where the owner or developer can manage editing and deployment afterwards. We may decline sites that depend heavily on plugin-driven features.
Before you request
Five questions worth answering whatever tool you use to move off WordPress.
Content and design
Which pages, posts, images and layouts must stay? Compare the rebuilt site with the original rather than assuming every theme or plugin transfers.
Editing after the move
Who publishes changes today? Astro can use content files or a CMS, including WordPress as a headless CMS, but the editing workflow has to be planned.
Features beyond pages
List forms, search, comments, shops, bookings and logins, and decide how each will work in the new setup.
URLs and launch checks
Check important URLs, redirects, metadata, links and images before changing a live site.
The ongoing workflow
Who owns the repository, how do changes reach the live site, and who handles hosting and support afterwards?

Request your preview
We review each request before building. Your preview link arrives by email, and your WordPress site isn't changed.
Previews run on DeployHQ Sites. Claiming one creates a DeployHQ account and keeps the preview. It doesn't move your domain.
Questions before you request
Does this change my WordPress site?
No. We build the preview from your public pages. Your site, hosting and DNS stay as they are.
Is the preview public? Will it appear in search?
Previews are unlisted and marked noindex, so they won't compete with your live site in search. Anyone with the link can open one, so share it with care.
What does claiming a preview mean?
Previews run on DeployHQ Sites. Claiming one creates a DeployHQ account and keeps the preview. It doesn't move your domain or change your WordPress site. Unclaimed previews expire.
Will I keep the WordPress editor?
Not automatically. Astro can pull content from WordPress or another CMS, but that's a separate setup we aren't offering in this early access. If non-developers need to publish, reply to your preview email and tell us, so we understand that need.
Which sites can you preview?
Sites you own or have permission to share, starting with mostly pages and posts. We review requests before building and may decline sites we can't convert well. We'll tell you why.
Does a preview commit me to a migration or a paid plan?
No. A preview is a way to see the result before you decide anything.
