WordPress could be a good fit if you set it up correctly. First, don't use cheap shared hosting. Get a VPS and setup a LEMP stack with PHP-FPM. Use PHP 7.2. Then select a non-bloated blog theme and delete/uninstall unnecessary plugins other than some caching (I highly recommend WP Fastest Cache & Autoptimize). Also, configure nginx to do things like gzip etc. I can assure you it will load fast. I have started my blog on a $5 DigitalOcean VPS with WP and it loads superfast but I only do basic blogging.
- sammosummo 8y agoThanks for the advice, I’ll investigate.
- codegeek 8y agonp. If you need help, I would be more than happy to help for free as I love servers and Linux stuff and this is my bread and butter :)
- atmosx 8y agoJust make sure you properly update and secure wordpress, keep and eye on the plugins, etc. I would not advise ppl not well versed in security to avoid wordpress and PHP apps in general if possible.
