Why Not Use WordPress?

WordPress is popular, but it's not the optimal solution for many modern websites. Let's look at why you should consider alternatives.

Main WordPress Issues

WordPress was designed over 20 years ago as a blogging platform. Today, there are much better solutions for modern websites.

Security Risks

WordPress is a frequent target for hackers due to its popularity and known vulnerabilities. According to statistics, 43% of hacked websites are built on WordPress.

  • Outdated plugins create security holes
  • Need for regular security updates
  • Risk of SQL injection and XSS attacks

Slow Performance

WordPress sites are notoriously slow due to their cumbersome architecture and reliance on database queries for every request.

  • Every page requires database queries
  • Plugins add more load and slow down loading
  • Need to use additional plugins for caching and optimization

Hidden Costs

WordPress might look like a cheap solution, but the long-term costs are often much higher than expected.

  • Premium plugins and themes cost money
  • More expensive hosting due to higher performance requirements
  • Maintenance and troubleshooting costs

WordPress vs. Modern Static Websites

Comparing traditional WordPress with modern static websites shows clear advantages of new technologies.

Real WordPress Problems

Many businesses struggle with these common problems when using WordPress.

Case #1: Hacked E-commerce Store

A small e-commerce store built on WordPress and WooCommerce was hacked due to an outdated plugin. The result was a customer data breach and several days of downtime, costing the business thousands.

“We thought WordPress was secure. Now we know we should have invested in a more secure solution.”
Case #2: Slow Company Website

A medium-sized company used WordPress for their website. Over time, the site became so slow that visitors left before the pages loaded. Analysis showed that 20+ plugins and an outdated theme were the main causes.

“Our website was so slow we were losing customers. Switching to a static site increased conversions by 35%.”
