Whether to move from Wordpress to static sites (Gatsby, Jekyll, Hugo) and how much it will cost?

Considering moving wordpress site to static (Gatsby, Jekyll, Hugo, etc.). I want to know the opinion of working in this direction for the developers - how hard is it to copy the appearance of the current site and recreate it on static? We are talking about an informational website, publish articles with text, photos, and videos. No zamorochili services on the website no. The main purpose of the moving speed of the website. Well, approximately how much money will cost this development.

It's just a newfangled thing. On WordPress the same scheme can be arranged, just giving a static page cache directly via NGINX. You can read here: https://github.com/SatelliteWP/rocket-nginx After you configure the static page will be able to withstand unlimited attendance and be passed to the visitor is always quick. Cost - 4 hours of a specialist to configure web server + license of WP-Rocket.
I sysadmin has configured the server-side cache + browser cache on the client side, not much help, as I have a lot of external requests (~300-400). Server your powerful. As far as I understand the situation - you need to dig the code to replace some of the plugins, optimizing their work. To configure the css, the correct loading of scripts. To optimize images. I'm afraid that the installation of missiles can not do. - Judah35 commented on April 19th 20 at 12:22
@Judah35, carefully read the answer: "giving the static page cache directly via NGINX". In this scheme not involved in the core WordPress does not use PHP. Just bring this information to your administrators and let set according to instructions. - justine.Ebert55 commented on April 19th 20 at 12:25

Now about the cost:
To work with Gatsby need someone who is well versed in the React + HTML/SASS/SCSS, that is, even a few people, and then it depends on the number of necessary components...

@Judah35, of course, is the number of queries requires additional attention, for example:
* pictures cut to Smart CDN optimole for example
* Configure lazy loading styles/images
* collect the files css/js and to minimize is a rocket

I will give you a living example bought themes from themeforest, there is a box of approximately 200 requests, but with the right setup I was able to get a response from the North to 100ms, and download to seconds (the server is in London for Russia is a little far away), and to reduce the number of queries to 50 like...
this issue has not become better, but the speed is increased, and the front is optimized to a minimum.

If it you have everything working on WP and we are talking about moving - not worth it.
And WP can achieve the same results.

That is if you do it from scratch - there are often it makes sense to think about whether it needs WP.
