WordPress’s strengths compared to the competition
Based on our experiences with different CMS (Shopify, Joomla, Prestashop, Wix), here are the strong points of WordPress:
Highly Customizable : All our customers are autonomous in updating their content.
Website menu management is easy and intuitive, managed by Drag and Drop.
The widget tool , just as easy to use as the menus, allows you to quickly place dynamic content in certain areas of the site (footer, sidebar, etc.).
Media belgium phone data management . In WordPress, there is a media library that is accessed whenever an image or document needs to be added. From this library, you can intuitively load media, edit it, crop it, replace it without changing the name or link, and manage alternative texts that are imperative in SEO . Managed media are all types of images, videos, PDFs, Word documents, Excel, etc.
All modules or themes use the media library to access images, it is very convenient.
WordPress offers different user roles to manage authors, contributors, administrators, etc. It is possible to configure these roles via modules.
In the content editing pages (Pages, Articles, etc.), there is a "versioning" system : automatic backups are made and a history of modifications is kept on each content. It is thus possible to compare the modifications of a content with the previous and following versions, to go back or forward.
Similarly, WordPress allows you to schedule a future publication.
Finally, WordPress provides by default on each site a “ Rest API ” to allow any external program to interact with the data of the website.
7. Speed – WordPress performance
Thanks to its hook and filter systems , WordPress allows you to control the code executed and therefore generates better performance than other CMS. However, performance depends on many factors unrelated to the CMS:
Accommodation
Image size
The code included in the theme (front end libraries in particular)
To optimize the images and theme code, there are several modules:
WP-Optimize: optimizes the site in general
SMush, Webp: optimize images
WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache: optimize the theme code
To master the performance of a theme, the best solution is to develop a custom theme with the Gutenberg block editor .
To control the performance of a hosting, the best is to use a VPS (Virtual Private Server). However, the prices of this type of service can be high for an institutional website.
