Will I lose my rankings with a new website?
Not if every existing URL is mapped and 301-redirected to its closest equivalent and the content that earns traffic is preserved.
Solution
I need a new website.
A new website is worth doing when the current one limits you commercially — it is slow, hard to update, invisible in search, or does not convert. The risk to manage is losing the search visibility you already have, which is why redirects and content mapping come before design.
