Can WordPress really run on Cloudflare Workers?

Yes. Workers have no PHP of their own, so HostlessWP runs PHP 8.3 compiled to WebAssembly inside the Worker and connects it to your MySQL through Hyperdrive. WordPress core is not modified.

Is it a static export?

No. Real PHP runs for every request that is not answered from the page cache, so checkout, comments, search, forms and logins keep working.

Where does my data live?

Your MySQL database stays where it is today. Cloudflare connects to it through Hyperdrive with caching turned off. Code goes to your own Cloudflare account and media to your own bucket.

HostlessWP is free and open source. The Workers Free plan runs a site; Workers Paid is $5/month when you outgrow the free limits.

How do I go back to my old host?

Point your domain back to your old host. Your database never moved, so nothing needs to be copied back.

Open source command-line tool that moves a running WordPress site onto Cloudflare Workers, keeping its plugins, theme and MySQL database intact.

Overview

Screenshot of the HostlessWP homepage — What hostlesswp.com looks like

HostlessWP is an open source tool that moves an existing WordPress site to Cloudflare Workers with a single command. The site keeps its own theme, plugins and MySQL database, which is reached through Cloudflare Hyperdrive, while media moves to R2 or another S3-compatible bucket. PHP 8.3 runs inside the Worker as WebAssembly using the HostlessWP engine; WordPress core and plugins are not modified.

The tool runs on your existing server or a copy of your site, checking which plugins are compatible and deploying a test version to a workers.dev address. Your original site continues running until you switch the domain. Small sites run on the Workers Free plan with no server maintenance required.
