wordpress is the worst - except for all the others.
i think most people hate WP because, well, a bunch of reasons, but reason #1 is usually speed -- WP is super-slow if you don't host it well.
so, find a blazing-fast WP host. your client will be like, 'ok'.
- alexskyline 4y agoCan host which is not properly set up slow down the WP? In the past year, every WP website my company did became too slow, even I noticed it when using admin panel for adding new features, I mean it's barely usable, constantly throwing 404 errors. Also, the clients started complaining heavily, but I'm unable to come up with the solution since on test server everything works perfectly. I also had some suspicious that's because of the bad host, because it effects every project done with WP, but the company owner claims differently since he's 'really good' at working with servers.
- solardev 4y agoUse Pantheon. Expensive but absolutely worth it, best WP and Drupal host bar non. It's hard to diy it right. You basically have to cache and invalidate like mad and then put varnish and a cdn in front of it and invalidate those too. It's ugly. Pantheon takes care of all of that for you transparently.
- alexskyline 4y agoThat sounds great, I'll check it out. Thanks!
- solardev 4y agoWordPress on a good hosting system like Pantheon (or Wpengine, or the one that stats with K, etc.) can be very fast. It basically just get statically cached. And with Advanced Custom Forms, I found WP more powerful than any of the 20 or so headless CMS options out there. And a hell lot better than Drupal. More powerful get easier to use as a headless DB. Drupal has other strengths but they're mostly irrelevant these days.
