All of WordPress in JavaScript
We’re in the process of replicating all of WordPress, including templates and plugins, to a modern tech stack (Node.js & Next.js) called NextPress.
All the functionality in JavaScript
Faster pages
By migrating to Node.js and Next.js, which natively support non-blocking async calls, as well static site generation and server-side rendering. Potentially even SPAs (single page apps) can be built on NextPress.
More devs
JavaScript has ranked as the most used programming language for 10 years. Take advantage of the amount of developers who want to work on JavaScript.
Easier to use
WordPress has become more and more complex to use. Rebuilding WordPress gives us an opportunity to improve UX so it’s easier for new users.

FAQs
How does NextPress work?
NextPress is an initiative aimed at reimagining WordPress by transitioning its core functionalities from PHP to a modern JavaScript-based tech stack, specifically Node.js and frameworks like Next.js. This transformation seeks to enhance performance, streamline development, and improve user experience.
How does NextPress improve performance?
In multiple ways. By enabling technology developed on JavaScript like Next.js, you can do Server-Side Rendering, as well as Static Site Generation (render the page on your server instead of the client’s computer or render it just once and load static pages distributed through a CDN, your choice). JavaScript allows websites that are data-heavy to natively run async calls as non-blocking code. That means you can get and render data faster.
How does NextPress migrate a WordPress site?
We have developed a proprietary AI tool that matches your existing content and configuration to the new architecture and translates your code to human-readable JavaScript.
Will my website’s SEO be affected after migration?
We sure hope so! Page speed is a key factor in Google’s ranking algorithm. Expect better SEO rankings and higher conversion rates.
How much does it cost to use NextPress?
NextPress is free to use, but hosting is not. Contact us to learn about setting up a website and pricing.
Is there a free trial or demo available?

How can I contribute?
We’re actively looking for developers who want to contribute by helping build WordPress, as well as migrating their plugins or themes before anyone else. Join our waitlist and let us know you’re interested in contributing.
Will you support other frameworks like Nuxt?
We are building NextPress so that you can change the framework that’s used to render your pages by changing the theme.
