Why WordPress Still Dominates

WordPress powers over 40% of websites for good reason. The ecosystem, flexibility, and content-first design remain compelling for many use cases.

My Experience

WordPress is still my recommendation for content-heavy sites. The plugin ecosystem solves almost any problem. Just invest in security and performance from day one.

What Makes WordPress Enduring

1. Massive Ecosystem - 60,000+ plugins, thousands of themes. Whatever functionality you need, a plugin probably exists. Solutions for almost any problem.

2. Content Excellence - WordPress is built for content. The editor, media handling, and publishing workflow are mature and refined. Content creators are productive immediately.

3. Flexibility - From simple blogs to complex applications. E-commerce with WooCommerce. Membership sites. Learning management. WordPress adapts to requirements.

4. Community - Huge community of developers, designers, and users. Documentation, tutorials, forums—help is available. You’re never stuck alone.

Where WordPress Falls Short

Security requires constant attention—updates, strong passwords, security plugins. Performance needs optimization. Plugin quality varies widely.

Who Should Use WordPress

• Content-heavy sites and blogs
• Small businesses needing flexibility
• E-commerce via WooCommerce
• Anyone wanting ecosystem support
