Why Boycotting Wix is a Meaningful Step
An Ethical Choice You Can Act On
BoycottWix.org encourages creators and businesses to avoid Wix and choose an alternative platform. If you want your website to reflect your values, moving away from Wix is a direct, practical step.
Difficult for Small Teams
Wix’s newer “Studio” product is positioned for agencies and pros, not DIY owners who need to publish fast and keep things simple. If you’re an entrepreneur or local nonprofit, this can add complexity where you don’t want it.
A Track Record of SEO Failures
Although better than their early days, Wix is still infamous for its terrible SEO capabilities and for managing content. In 2015, many Wix sites fell out of Google’s index. The incident was acknowledged publicly and fixed, but it left a dent in trust for SEO-driven teams.
Speed Performance and Heavy Scripts
Their websites are slow. Industry feedback points to JavaScript weight and app bloat as common pain points. Speed performance is critical for SEO. Leaner platforms usually make it easier to pass Core Web Vitals, helping you get more traffic and turn more visitors into customers.
Migration Headaches
There’s no “export” button. Themes & layouts don’t transfer, and even blog content export is limited, which makes future moves slower and riskier. Keep this in mind if you have a lot of content.
