Why we moved Mitikaz off WordPress

Mitikaz Team

This is the first article on the new Mitikaz site. It is no longer powered by WordPress — there is no PHP, no MySQL database, and no admin panel to keep patched. This page is a static HTML file served straight from Cloudflare’s edge.

What changed

  • Security: with no server-side code or database, the classic WordPress attack surface simply does not exist.
  • Speed: pages are pre-built and served from a CDN, so they load almost instantly anywhere in East Africa.
  • Cost: hosting moved to Cloudflare Pages’ free tier. The old WordPress servers are being wound down.

How articles get published now

Every post — including this one — is a Markdown file in our Git repository. Our AI marketing pipeline drafts new articles from trending topics, a human reviews and approves them, and the site rebuilds automatically. Same blog, none of the maintenance.

More to come as we migrate the rest of our brands onto this stack.
