For years, my website lived on a fairly typical stack—WordPress hosted through GoDaddy. It worked. It was easy. And like most things that “just work,” I didn’t think too hard about it… until I did.
At some point, I started asking a simple question: Why am I paying this much for something that gives me this much grief?
That question turned into a full migration—away from WordPress and into a static site powered by Hugo and hosted on Azure Static Web Apps. I’ll tell you why in a moment.
