Wordpress definitely has its issues. In this case I think it would've made more sense to just statically compile your wordpress site into HTML and serve that through traditional means (e.g. Azure Blob, Amazon S3, etc), than to go through all the trouble of converting.

I'd agree on a new project, jamstack makes sense here.

So there was a part of the story I haven't told. The wordpress site was painfully slow to load and while I like the look of the theme it was costly from performance perspective.

I did try to render the wordpress site out to html but I just didn't find it plain sailing and after a couple of hours research/testing look for a new direction.
