Everything WordPress promised. Nothing it couldn't deliver.

EmForge is the complete toolkit for EmDash — the CMS that Cloudflare built to replace WordPress.

Sandboxed Security

Every plugin runs in its own V8 isolate. A vulnerable plugin can't touch your database, your files, or your users. WordPress can never do this.

Edge Performance

Your site runs on Cloudflare's global network — 300+ locations worldwide. No caching plugins. No CDN configuration. Just fast, everywhere.

TypeScript Everything

Full type safety from database to template. Your editor knows the shape of every content entry. Refactor with confidence.

SEO That Actually Works

EmForge SEO: sitemaps, structured data, content analysis, auto-redirects, 404 monitoring. The Yoast you always wanted.

One-Command Migration

npx @emforge/migrate --from your-wordpress-site.com. Content, media, categories, tags, SEO data, redirects — all converted automatically.

Built for AI Agents

EmDash was designed for Claude Code, Cursor, and AI tools. MCP server, Agent Skills, typed schemas. Build sites at AI speed.

Developers are making the switch

I migrated my WordPress blog in 10 minutes. EmForge handled the content, the redirects, and the SEO data. My Lighthouse score went from 62 to 98.

We manage 30+ client sites. EmForge's All-Access Pass saves us thousands compared to WordPress hosting + premium plugins. And no more 3am security patches.

Frequently asked questions

What is EmDash?

EmDash is a new open-source CMS built by Cloudflare on Astro and TypeScript. It's designed as a modern replacement for WordPress — with sandboxed plugin security, edge deployment, and AI-native workflows. EmForge provides the themes, plugins, and tools that make EmDash production-ready.

Can I migrate my WordPress site?

Yes. Run npx @emforge/migrate --from https://your-site.com and the tool will import all your content, categories, tags, media, SEO data, and generate 301 redirects so you don't lose search rankings. It also detects your WordPress plugins and maps them to EmForge equivalents.

Is EmDash production-ready?

EmDash is in beta (v0.1), backed by Cloudflare ($30B+ company) and endorsed by Joost de Valk (Yoast SEO founder). It's stable enough for blogs, portfolios, and marketing sites. We recommend starting with a new project or migrating a non-critical site first.

Why not just use WordPress?

WordPress is 23 years old. It runs on PHP, 96% of its security vulnerabilities come from plugins, it requires caching layers for acceptable performance, and its developer experience hasn't evolved for the AI era. EmDash fixes all of these problems with modern architecture.

Do I need to know TypeScript?

Not for basic use. The Forge theme works out of the box and the admin UI handles content management. If you want to customize themes or build plugins, TypeScript knowledge helps — but AI coding tools like Claude Code can do most of the work for you.

What if EmDash doesn't take off?

All EmForge code is MIT-licensed — you own it completely. The skills you learn (TypeScript, Astro, Cloudflare Workers) are transferable to any modern web project. And the Forge theme works as a standalone Astro site even without EmDash.
