Your WordPress site, analysed in 30 seconds. Your migration path, in plain English.
Paste a URL. The advisor reads your live site, plugins, page count, multilingual setup, ecommerce signals, schema, CDN, and tells you which modern stack actually fits the brief. Built from 12,000 migrations.

WHAT THE ADVISOR ACTUALLY DOES
You paste a URL. The advisor fetches your homepage, your robots.txt, and your sitemap.xml. From the response it detects your CMS, your plugin fingerprints, your page builder, your multilingual setup, your ecommerce system, your schema markup, your CDN, your script and stylesheet count, and the size of your homepage payload.
That signal bundle runs through an AI model with a system prompt built from 12,000 site migrations. The model is required to reference at least three specific signals from your actual site in its reasoning. Generic stack-comparison output is forbidden.
The output is a JSON-structured recommendation: a primary stack, a secondary if the brief is genuinely ambiguous, the case for staying on WordPress (honesty matters), a plugin-replacement table for your top five detected plugins, a migration timeline in working weeks, a cost range in USD, a current-vs-post-migration performance estimate, and 2-4 specific risks to watch for in your migration.
It is exactly the same first-pass analysis I would run on a discovery call before quoting a migration. The difference is you get it in 30 seconds instead of a week.
WHEN TO TRUST THIS, AND WHEN NOT TO
The advisor is right about 80% of the time on the primary recommendation. The 20% where it can be wrong: sites that look simple but have a complex internal team workflow that does not show up in the HTML; sites with custom plugins that match no fingerprint; sites with bespoke schema and editorial requirements you cannot infer from a homepage scrape.
Treat the output as the same first-pass read I would give you on a 30-minute call. The migration cost range is ±25% honest, the lower end assumes a clean migration with no surprises, the upper end assumes the surprises that always exist on real sites past 5,000 pages.
If you want the version with the surprises priced in, that is what the discovery call is for.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the WordPress Stack Advisor work?
Paste any URL. The tool fetches the homepage, sitemap, and robots.txt, then detects the CMS, plugins, page count, multilingual setup, ecommerce signals, schema markup, and CDN. That signal pack runs through an AI model with a stack-recommendation system prompt built from 12,000+ Seahawk Media migrations. The output is a tailored recommendation with migration timeline, cost range, plugin replacements, and risk callouts.
What modern alternatives does it recommend?
Next.js + Supabase, Astro + Supabase, Nuxt + Supabase, headless WordPress on Astro or Next.js with WPGraphQL, Sanity, Payload, Storyblok, Strapi, Directus, Contentful, Shopify for ecommerce, and stay-on-WordPress when that is honestly the right call.
Is the recommendation generic or personalised?
Personalised. The model is required to reference at least three specific signals from your actual site in its reasoning: your plugin count, your page count, your multilingual configuration, your ecommerce setup. Generic recommendations are forbidden by the system prompt.
Does it work on non-WordPress sites?
Yes. The detector recognises Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Drupal, Ghost, Next.js, and Astro sites. The advisor will tell you whether your current stack is the right one or whether you should consider an alternative.
