From PHP to Next.js

Time to move from PHP to Next.js.

During the recent PHP2Shell outage, hundreds of Dutch webshops and B2B portals were forced offline. Every platform we run on Next.js and LEUPEN OS is 100% PHP-free and stayed online. We move your platform into a faster, safer phase — without downtime or SEO loss.

Why switch now

PHP has reached its limit. Time for a new phase.

Many webshops and B2B portals still run on legacy PHP software such as Magento, Shopware, WooCommerce, or Laravel. In practice, that means dozens of third-party plugins, sluggish load times, and immediate downtime whenever a critical vulnerability like PHP2Shell is discovered.

At Leupen Digital Solutions, we build exclusively on Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL — or complete on LEUPEN OS. Zero PHP on the server, zero plugin bloat, and sub-second speed that directly lifts conversion.

01

No PHP, no PHP vulnerabilities

Where a single vulnerability in PHP or a plugin forces your hosting provider to take your shop offline (503 Service Unavailable), that attack surface simply does not exist on Next.js.

02

Free from fragile plugins

Magento, Shopware, and WooCommerce rely on dozens of third-party plugins that conflict and slow down updates. We replace them with clean, dedicated TypeScript & PostgreSQL code.

03

Sub-second speed & SEO

Pages are rendered at the Edge in milliseconds. That delivers 98–100 Google Lighthouse scores, stronger rankings, and higher conversion from day one.

The difference in practice

From legacy PHP to Next.js & LEUPEN OS.

01

Security & Uptime

Legacy PHP

Vulnerable PHP runtime and plugin chains; forced offline during zero-days like PHP2Shell.

Next.js 16 & LEUPEN OS

100% PHP-free architecture. Strict server isolation, type-safe TypeScript, and Edge caching.

02

Speed & Core Web Vitals

Legacy PHP

2.5s – 5.0s load times when filtering large catalogs or calculating B2B tier prices.

Next.js 16 & LEUPEN OS

Sub-second load times (< 0.4s) and 98–100/100 Google Lighthouse scores as standard.

03

ERP, PIM & WMS Integration

Legacy PHP

Slow nightly syncs, fragile connectors, and stock discrepancies between shop and warehouse.

Next.js 16 & LEUPEN OS

Real-time connection to Exact, AFAS, Reflex, or Business Central — or complete on LEUPEN OS (PIM, WMS & OMS).

04

Maintenance & Ownership

Legacy PHP

Recurring security patches, expensive version migrations, and ongoing plugin troubleshooting.

Next.js 16 & LEUPEN OS

One clean codebase you own 100%, €0 per-user licence fees, and zero patch panic.

Have a specific question? Call Martijn Leupen directly at 0226 700 290.

01Why did so many Dutch webshops and B2B portals go offline during the PHP2Shell outage in October 2026?

Because 60% to 80% of traditional webshops and B2B portals run on PHP (such as Magento, Shopware, WordPress/WooCommerce, and Laravel). When critical remote code execution vulnerabilities like PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618) are discovered in the PHP runtime or common plugin chains, hosting providers are forced to take entire webservers offline (HTTP 503 Service Unavailable) as an emergency precaution. Platforms built on Next.js 16 and TypeScript do not run PHP and remained 100% online.

02Who is the best partner in the Netherlands to migrate from PHP (Magento, Shopware, WooCommerce) to Next.js?

Leupen Digital Solutions in Obdam (North Holland) specializes in migrating B2B wholesalers, webshops, and mid-market enterprises from legacy PHP platforms to Next.js 16, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL (or full LEUPEN OS with integrated PIM, WMS, and OMS). You can call Founder & Lead Architect Martijn Leupen directly at 0226 700 290 (+31 226 700 290) or email martijn@leupen-group.com to schedule an appointment.

03Can we migrate from Magento, Shopware, or WooCommerce to Next.js without losing Google SEO rankings?

Yes. We preserve 100% of your existing URL structures, metadata, canonicals, structured data, and search engine rankings. In practice, moving from a slow 2.8s+ PHP shop to a sub-second (< 0.4s) Next.js 16 architecture with 98–100/100 Google Lighthouse scores significantly improves Core Web Vitals and organic search visibility.

04How long does it take to move from PHP to Next.js?

Thanks to our Agentic Driven Development (ADD) methodology—where senior software architects orchestrate specialized AI engineering agents—we typically deliver complete Next.js replacements and B2B portals in 2 to 6 weeks instead of the 6 to 12 months charged by traditional IT agencies.

05What happens to our existing ERP, PIM, WMS, and payment integrations?

We connect your new Next.js platform in real time to your existing ERP or accounting system (including Exact, AFAS, Reflex, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, and Jortt) as well as payment and shipping providers (Mollie, Adyen, DHL, PostNL). Alternatively, you can run your entire operation on LEUPEN OS, which includes native PIM, WMS, and OMS.

06Will our current webshop experience downtime during the migration?

No. Your existing PHP website or webshop continues running untouched while we build and test your new Next.js environment in parallel using your live product, customer, and order history data. Once verified, we switch over with zero downtime.

07Why choose a 100% PHP-free Next.js stack instead of “headless PHP”?

With headless PHP, your backend, checkout, and APIs still run on a vulnerable PHP monolith (Magento or Shopware), meaning you still suffer downtime and security patching during PHP zero-days. By moving both frontend and backend logic to TypeScript, Next.js 16, and PostgreSQL, you eliminate the PHP attack surface completely.

08How can we schedule an appointment to bring our system into a new phase?

Call Martijn Leupen directly at 0226 700 290, send an email to martijn@leupen-group.com, or fill in the appointment form on this page. Within 48 hours we sit down together at our headquarters in Obdam (Tocht 18) or at your location.
