CASE-001 / VANA ADVENTURE TRAVEL
WORDPRESS REBUILD
+ MIGRATION
A custom WordPress rebuild and content migration for a Cambodian adventure-travel operator. 280 legacy URLs verified.

THE BUILD.
Brief
Replace a 13.74 MB WooCommerce, Entrada and WPBakery site with a custom WordPress build while preserving the public URL surface.
Constraints
Shared cPanel hosting, no CI or staging environment, an English-only audience, and 280 legacy URLs to preserve.
What we built
A custom PHP theme, structured tour data, server-rendered filters, an enquiry pipeline with Turnstile, SEO/JSON-LD, and a verified redirect map.
Outcome
Homepage transfer fell from 13.74 MB to 3.1 MB in Lighthouse 13.6.0 mobile lab tests, and 280/280 exact redirects plus 11/11 prefix rules were verified on 28 Oct 2026. Field traffic, conversion and revenue data are not available.
Stack
WordPress 7.1.3 · PHP 8.5.12 · MariaDB 11.4.13 · Cloudflare · LiteSpeed · Turnstile




What we learned
DECISIONS
THAT HELD.
- 01Migrate content into a clean install instead of restoring a legacy database.
- 02Build and test the redirect map before DNS cutover; verify every exact and prefix rule.
- 03Put tour data in structured fields, and measure the rendered page — CSS background heroes bypass responsive images.
