Astro + WordPress headless: institutional site rebuilt for speed and organic search

Accordous

Accordous needed an institutional site that could rank and load — without giving up WordPress for editorial. We shipped an Astro frontend on a WordPress headless API, cleaned the information architecture, and treated SEO as part of the build, not a post-launch patch.

Google impressions ~10× after the Astro + WordPress headless rebuild; organic rankings recovered and climbed.

Context

The previous WordPress theme stack carried plugin weight, weak Core Web Vitals, and thin technical SEO. For an institutional brand, that meant fewer impressions, weaker rankings, and a front that fought the product story — while the team still needed WP for content.

Challenge

  • Keep WordPress as CMS/API without losing content or URL equity
  • Ship a fast, maintainable Astro front consuming the WP API — not a theme clone
  • Recover and grow organic visibility (impressions + rankings)
  • Keep the institutional voice clear: trust, clarity, no fluff

What we shipped

Astro frontend on WordPress headless (API), content and redirect map, performance-first templates, on-page SEO, structured data where it earned its keep, Search Console and Analytics wired for post-launch reads. Editorial stays in WordPress.
