Wordpress is outdated and bloated

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Obviously, there are millions of people using WordPress which triggered a lot of plugins being developed over the years.

WordPress back office is rather convoluted and full of challenging pitfalls. A user with limited experience will have a hard time figuring things out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is nothing benefiting me from using WordPress which is why I switched to a different CMS
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not choose Wordpress!

Why should you choose WordPress

  • May 31, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

Content Management in WordPress is best. You can easily manage your digital items. I use the plugin Yoast for my SEO of posts. Yoast provides you with all the best tools to make your content unique.
What do you dislike about the product?
WordPress can cause slow speed for your website. Sometimes, there are errors in plugins. By simplifying tools management, WordPress can be improved. I would like to simplify all the tools.

WordPress is helping me in writing my content in an excellent customized style. Yes, I am benefited from this product. This made my work more creative. Yes, my business performance increased.

I think it's time to put down the gloves.

What do you like best about the product?
I liked the gutenberg block editor, but not as much as before. It was neat at first, but the fact that it saves specific block code directly into the content is dumb. The default blocks have dumb ways to adjust the styles. Much of it becomes hardcoded sizes which don't translate into decent responsive designs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's super outdated. Being a theme developer is a terrible experience. At the very least, they could create duplicate copies of the function names so that they all followed the same naming convention rather than just throwing up new ones. The move to a REST API is OK, but the actual way to configure the endpoints is just as bad as the rest of the WordPress APIs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's not really solving anything. In my experience, the only thing it does is gives people who don't know anything about development an opportunity to lie to clients by claiming they do. Then they use page builders to whip something together, but the moment they ever need anything of any actual substance, they have to call in someone like me. Then we have to work with their broken code and always try to hack these page builders to do the most basic things. The only benefit I derived from it was when I first began freelancing. For the reasons previously listed, it's very easy to find work since the majority of people running "web agencies" with WordPress don't know what they're doing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't. Look at where the tech and market for websites are actually heading. Everything is moving toward a headless setup. Learn React or Vue, Next or Nuxt, Gatsby or Gridsome. Play around with newer and very popular CMSes that are headless focused like Sanity or Strapi. Many are very affordable and even have free options. You can use Sanity as your hosted CMS for free and then host the frontend on Netlify for free with very generous limits. Things have changed and it's time to get with the times.

Best CMS in the market

  • May 27, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
WordPress is a great tool to create a professional, good-looking website in a short period. There are many prebuilt themes and plugins which make the development easier and quicker. The theme editor is a great feature which helps to create advanced websites. It is one stop destination where we can manage everything about our websites. The best thing about WordPress is it is free and open-source which makes this tool accessible to everyone.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have used WordPress for almost two years and I didn’t find many drawbacks. The installation is also super easy and it is the best drag-and-drop website builder I have ever seen. Some of the issues I have found is, sometimes it will take too long to load some pages in the WordPress dashboard. WordPress also has a limited number of free templates and it would be helpful if more free templtes are included. Also, I have seen frequent server issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using WordPress mainly to create landing pages and blogs. WordPress is the best tool for Bloggers. We can add any feature by just installing a plugin which makes development much faster and easier. We can create any website in no time using the prebuilt templates. Plugins are really useful and it helps to add all the necessary features to the website. Also, we don’t necessarily need to host the website if we are just creating some blogs because WordPress provides a default subdomain where the site will be live.

WordPress is okay in the right time and palce

  • May 26, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easily the most attractive thing about WordPress is the plugin ecosystem.
What do you dislike about the product?
What the theme ecosystem has turned into. It's pretty much a giant mess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With all the cons it brings, the theme and plugin ecosystem do make it possible for some to get up and running with a website quite easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
WordPress can be a great tool for getting up and running quickly. Try to stay on the lean side with the amount of plugins you use to more easily maintain the site for the long haul or for when you decide to make sweeping changes.

Awesome place for small business websites

  • May 19, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that they allow you to trail it before making the commitment. I have a small business and this is a great place to help with a website. One of the best
parts is that you get a free domain for a year.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far the website seems to be a great source. I am glad it is something I came upon. At first, I was a little thrown off about the direction of the website but I just needed to do a little more research.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a place to host a website. I own a small business, and this makes it a lot more affordable and easy to run. It is a great source if you own a small business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a website /company to help with your website and content -- Wordpress is a wonderful option.

Very easy to to use website builder/management tool

  • May 18, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Wordpress is website builder tool very apt for beginners and those who want to start their first blog website. It is a drag and drop tool to build and manage your website which makes it comparatively easier than coding a website from scratch.
What do you dislike about the product?
It charges a fee if you want to remove wordpress.com from your domain name which I believe is a mjor resistance for new serious website creators. There are hosting charges as well and no dedicated proper support team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of the plugins can only be installed after buying the subscription which makes the tool not completely free as advertised. I make the website for my clients using theose premium plugins for a very small fee that that makes it eaiser for customer's pocket and helps me earn some extra income.
