Senior B2B delivery, EU jurisdiction

Headless WooCommerce migration service

What I ship

  • Architecture decision per route: static, ISR, or SSR
  • Astro 5+ or Next.js 15 storefront on Cloudflare Pages + Workers
  • WooCommerce as the editorial admin and order processor (managed EU PHP host)
  • Cart, checkout, and account flows as SSR or live-read Worker routes
  • R2 for media, KV for hot reads, Durable Objects when state has to live close to the user
  • Full redirect map applied at the edge with side-by-side measurement window

Why headless WooCommerce wins on the public surface

A traditional WooCommerce store pays the PHP-render cost on every public request. Caching plugins help, but cache misses still hit the origin and the user pays the latency. Moving the public surface to the edge means the average product-page request never touches PHP at all. The back end becomes a publishing system; the front becomes a delivery system. Mobile Core Web Vitals stop limiting conversion.

Who this is for

  • WooCommerce stores with 1,000+ SKUs where mobile CWV affect conversion
  • Stores with predictable traffic spikes (Black Friday, product launches, press hits)
  • Multi-region brands wanting one origin feeding many edge regions
  • Procurement contexts requiring EU-only data routing under GDPR + NIS2 + DORA

Engagement model

Senior B2B contracts on EU jurisdiction. Six to twelve weeks typical. Audit, architecture, migration, cutover, post-launch tuning. Pricing is individual.

Frequently asked questions

When does headless WooCommerce make sense?

When mobile Core Web Vitals limit conversion, when traffic spikes during sale events knock the origin over, or when the editorial team wants the WordPress admin but the customer-facing speed of a static front end. If your store is under 1,000 SKUs and your monthly traffic is comfortable on managed PHP, traditional WooCommerce remains the cheaper choice.

What stays in WordPress, what moves to the edge?

WordPress and WooCommerce stay as the editorial admin, product database, order processor, and tax / shipping engine. Astro or Next.js renders the catalogue, product pages, blog, and content marketing pages from the edge with cache. Cart, checkout, account pages, and order confirmations run as SSR or as separate Worker routes that read live from WooCommerce.

How long does the migration take?

Typical engagements run six to twelve weeks. The variables are SKU count, payment integration complexity, multi-currency / multi-warehouse logic, and the redirect map size. I scope the timeline after a one-hour audit; pricing is individual.

What about SEO continuity during the migration?

Every URL that has earned organic traffic gets a 301 in the redirect map at the edge before cutover. Schema.org Product / Offer / AggregateOffer is preserved or upgraded. Side-by-side measurement runs for one to two weeks before DNS cutover, with synthetic tests on TTFB, LCP, INP, and indexing.

Do you also handle the AI-agent surface (UCP)?

Yes, optionally. The same architecture cleanly accommodates Universal Commerce Protocol Schema.org enrichment plus an Anthropic MCP server for transactional intent. I bundle that into the migration scope when the buyer is preparing for AI shopping agents in Google AI Mode, ChatGPT Shopping, or Perplexity.
