Overview
Yogvira is a wellness and yoga content platform serving practitioners across India. The client came to us with a bloated WordPress site — slow load times, poor Core Web Vitals, and a hosting bill that kept climbing.
We rebuilt the entire site with Astro in three weeks.
The Problem
The original WordPress site was loading in over 6 seconds on mobile. Plugins were stacking up, the theme was heavy, and every update felt risky. The client needed a faster, simpler solution without losing any content or SEO equity.
What We Built
- Static Astro site with Markdown-powered content — no database, no CMS overhead
- Custom design built from scratch in vanilla CSS — no page builder bloat
- Blog system using Astro content collections with tag filtering
- Image optimisation using Astro’s built-in
<Image>component - Deployed to Vercel for instant global delivery via CDN
Results
- 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 Lighthouse scores across Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO
- Page load time dropped from 6.2s → 0.8s on mobile
- Organic search traffic increased 38% in the first two months
- Zero ongoing platform fees — no WordPress hosting, no plugin subscriptions
Tech Stack
- Astro 4
- Vanilla CSS
- Vercel
- GitHub Actions for CI/CD
The project proved what we tell every client: switching from WordPress to Astro is the single highest-ROI move for most content sites.
