[@davidserrano8463]

Yup, just what i thought, web hosting companies offer packages to keep your site maintained and secured. Its up to the customer to get those options.

[@aplacefortc]

I am a website developer/designer/coder; and I still love WordPress. I can only see these issues as relevant to people who want to maintain a website without expert experience. I would never go back to building a website 100% from scratch_ too many pages and too much coding. Drag and drop builders use more code than necessary and this causes slower performance. There is no other platform that has every thing you can imagine a website needs. So, yes, if you are not a professional developer and can't afford to pay a professional, I can see why you want to look for something easy is your objective. As developers, learning is a part of our job. So, the learning curve is to be expected. I can't stand looking at poorly coded websites and did not hear any issues that are real problems. I still stand by WordPress. It made our lives easier as web-developers, and there is nothing to compare to it.

What About Webflow ? Isn't That an "In-Between" Solution ?

If your web hosting provider doesn't allow you to change PHP version on your own I guess you should move your wordpress site to a better web hosting provider.

[@abulka]

But Wordpress is free and the others are not? How about a comparison to equivalent free and open source options.

[@pierreleonsimard]

Ok he's talking to non techies here. If you're a developer and / or programmer and / or front-end (with page builders) and good with it, you won't like the alternatives he's talking about cause they have LOTS of boundaries that WP doesn't have when you add plugins and / or your own code.

And that is the reason why 40% of world loves WordPress. It is extremely customizable. We sometimes don't just one thing and WordPress is great because of that. Amd how he can be comparing things that are free with paid products?

WordPress has many flaws, but. "After login your username is always admin"? Where do you get this, what install process, what hosting/script does this please?

I can update my PHP version on all my sites no problem. Also, speed tests should be taken with a big pinch of salt. I've tested sites that pass core web vitals with flying colours and they are as slow as fuck, and other sites that are in the orange and are lightning quick. If people use admin as there login name with a shitty password, well then. Also Wix, no thank you.

[@TatianaBalashova]

Thanks for your opinion. I've been struggling with WP for a few years, even if trying to use Divi, even if a photographer in the past, tired of tech stuff and constant learning... I do videoediting for my vlogs and like it, yet codes and lots of text info is not my thing. So I still don't know how to backup WP properly, and it takes forever to rebuild the websites on WP... Now incompatibility issues php updates vs plugins have started to pop up and I realized is that my websites were down often. I used to use Weebly and it definitely has a lot of cons and limitations yet for non-e-commerce websites it was helpful until they stopped showing websites to Russia and Ukraine in 2018. Re blogs - as someone looking for an alternative to WP the issue is that you can't be sure for how long those competitors (offering alternative platforms) will stay on the market. blogs are long-term projects and you can invest thousands of hours into a blog and then realize that you are losing your likes, comments, audience etc for one reason or another (dependent on the platform itself). On another note, many people in Eastern Europe and ex-USSR countries are using Tilda, have you tried it? not sure if it has interface in English. I almost switched to it but it is still another subscription (pricey) and also a learning curve. not clear as well what might happen in terms of access to the platform with all those crazy world events. However many Russian and Ukrainian people swear by it. using it for landing websites especially. Not for blogs probably.

[@picosofamoso33]

[@CanvaCreative]

Hey Odi, thank you for sharing such a good info. Since the issue with the core vitals been pushed I struggle to make my WP websites faster. All 3 are failing on most of the vitals. I even upgraded my server and smashed all the images… nothing really helped to get a decent score on lighthouse metrics. Have no problem at all to move to other platform ( wizard for example). The question is: I have many blog posts and value on my websites… can I move my work website to another platform without rewriting all my posts?

[@oDiProductions]

Yes many have faced the same issue include myself. Although it IS possible to get decent scores with WP, it will require a LOT of optimizing, configuring plugins, purchasing additional premium plugins/services like CDN. Even then, I still haven’t seen faster load times than Wizrd out of the box. With that said, you should be able to use the built-in Wordpress “Export” feature. We are currently working on our Wordpress import feature as we speak, and all you would have to do is upload that XML file to import all your posts 😄 You can sign up for a free trial to be added to the email list, where we’ll notify you when it’s ready (next 1-2 weeks hopefully)
