Overview

About this project.

Publication of 12 years of posts on a struggling shared-host WordPress install. Page-speed scores in the teens, editorial workflow blocked by plugin conflicts, and DNS-flush deploys taking a full minute of downtime.

Moved the content database behind WPGraphQL, fronted by Next.js on Vercel with ISR. Editors still use the WordPress admin they know; readers get a sub-second front end with a Lighthouse score above 95.
