Data from Google Trends noted search requests around the website builder boomed in October 2024, especially on October 8, where it reached a peak score of 100.

The spike in interest signals a shift in user behavior, indicating an active search for options which align more closely with user expectations around performance, control, and transparency.

Anything community produced with a tool to transfer over WP sites would do pretty well at the moment.

One of the big selling points of Wordpress has been customization, so it's unlikely you'll be able to directly transfer anything more than the raw post. Any plugins you were relying on will not exist.

WordPress does provide a rest API, so you can do headless WordPress. It's essentially your content/data in JSON. From that point, you can do whatever.

The issue is you still need a CMS, or use WordPress.

The data format in wordpress is ridiculously bad though, if you just want to get content from an api use a decent framwork.
