About This Project
Aivio Digital was spending $78/month on managed WordPress hosting, premium plugins, and security scanning for a site that was essentially a static brochure. Page load times hovered around 2.8 seconds on mobile, and plugin updates were a constant maintenance burden. I migrated the entire site to Astro — a framework designed specifically for content-heavy sites that ships zero JavaScript by default. Blog posts moved from a MySQL database to Markdown files with Zod schema validation, catching missing metadata at build time rather than silently at runtime. Seven WordPress plugins were eliminated because the problems they solved — caching, security scanning, image optimization, SEO management — simply do not exist on a static site. The result: hosting costs dropped to $0/month on Netlify's free tier, Google PageSpeed climbed from 58 to 97 on mobile, and average page load time fell from 2.8 seconds to 0.4 seconds.
