Use a good static site generator. I stopped using Wordpress years ago. Life has been better. I don't get rando's trying to leave spammy, weird comments on my site trying to sell drugs. Nobody is constantly trying to hijack my Wordpress install. I'm not constantly being nagged to upgrade it. I just write locally in markdown and a script picks up the changes and re-publishes. I preview it on a locally running web server. When I'm happy I just run a small rsync script and boom. Statically served sites are super fast. Try GatsbyJS, Jekyll, Mynt; take your pick. It's funny... when I first started writing online I wrote some perl scripts that hacked together text files into an HTML template. Then when people started calling it blogging and sticking a database behind everything became the norm I eventually ceded to wordpress... but after a bunch of years doing that it's back to scripts hacking text files into HTML.
