Why the web is turning away from WordPress
- jacooper 4y agoQuick note, this is not a neutral source, its a company providing a CMS for static sites. I really think SSG are just going to remain a novelty for normal users, unless a GUI system like WordPress gets made for them. With WordPress you can create a completely professional website with zero code knowledge. I think WordPress just has to focus more on the headless part, I was searching on how to archive a WP site, it turns out using WGET you can get the entire browsing experience, everything works apart from search and member related stuff!, it doesn't even need the domain as the files are linked relatively!. So if WordPress can make headless easier, maybe support deploying static pages, with a sub domain for dynamic stuff like signing in, it would be the best, but other than that, WordPress is here to stay despite its issues.

That was actually the case about twenty years ago, with movable type [0]. WordPress displaced it, due to being open source and not needing to rebuild static assets.
