Section 1

Security & hosting

Weight: 20 pts · 4 questions

Enterprise WordPress requires infrastructure that matches enterprise compliance requirements. This section evaluates whether your current or target hosting environment can support a governed WordPress deployment at scale.

Question 1 What is your current or planned hosting environment for WordPress?
Question 2 Does your organisation have documented compliance requirements (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, or equivalent)?
Question 3 How is authentication and access control managed today?
Question 4 How are WordPress plugins evaluated before installation (or how will they be)?

Section 2

Scalability

Weight: 15 pts · 3 questions

Scalability on enterprise WordPress is an infrastructure and architecture question, not a platform question. Penske Media serves hundreds of millions of pageviews monthly on WordPress. Cox Automotive runs 8 brands on a single governed multisite. The constraint is always implementation, not the platform.

Question 5 What is the peak traffic load your WordPress environment needs to support?
Question 6 Do you need to manage multiple sites or brands under one platform?
Question 7 Is a CDN and object caching layer in place or planned?

Section 3

Editorial workflow

Weight: 20 pts · 4 questions

If changing an author name or updating a metadata field requires a developer ticket, that is a platform architecture problem, not a staffing problem. This section evaluates whether your editorial requirements can be met by a properly governed Gutenberg implementation.

Question 8 Can marketing or editorial teams currently publish or update content without developer involvement?
Question 9 Is a reusable component or block library available to editorial teams?
Question 10 Does your organisation require multi-step content approval workflows?
Question 11 How complex are your multilingual or localisation requirements?

Section 4

Integration complexity

Weight: 20 pts · 4 questions

Unknown integrations are the leading cause of post-launch failures. This section inventories your integration surface. Every undocumented integration is a migration risk.

Question 12 How many third-party systems does your CMS currently connect to (CRM, MAP, DAM, search, analytics, SSO, personalisation)?
Question 13 Do you have an active DAM that must connect to WordPress?
Question 14 Do you use CRM or marketing automation that requires form-to-CRM data flow from WordPress?
Question 15 Does your team have a documented integration inventory with carry-over decisions for each system?

Section 5

Governance

Weight: 15 pts · 3 questions

Governance is what separates a WordPress site from a WordPress platform. Without it, editors break the design system, plugin debt accumulates, and the platform requires rebuilding every three years. Governed platforms survive acquisitions, brand consolidations, and leadership changes.

Question 16 Are content roles and publishing permissions formally defined and enforced in your current CMS?
Question 17 Is there a defined process for adding or updating WordPress plugins across your environment?
Question 18 Do you have a design system or component governance model that governs how pages are built?

Section 6

Team WordPress familiarity

Weight: 10 pts · 2 questions

Enterprise WordPress is not WordPress out of the box. The platform requires governed architecture, controlled customisation, and workflows designed for scale. Team familiarity affects migration risk, handoff quality, and long-term platform ownership.

Question 19 How familiar is your engineering team with enterprise WordPress architecture (VIP, multisite, Gutenberg block development, governed deployments)?
Question 20 Is an internal training and onboarding plan in scope for the migration?
