Is there anything worth using other than Wordpress for personal project, with good SEO potential?

[Banjuo]

Hi, I'm coding an app and want to create a website for it.
I want the website to be:

1. fast, optimized, low weight
2. good SEO potential
3. good looking
4. article-based

I have really bad experiences with Wordpress. I actually know a lot about it, because I used it for a long time. Here's a list of things I don't like.

1. WP is really clunky! It's slow, unoptimized, messy. I also believe it has way more code than it should.
2. WP themes are mostly ugly, even premium themes, and they look like scam.
3. I can easily tell WP sites apart from non-WP sites.
4. I feel like "SEO THEMES" are a lie. Even the ones with schema, or lower weight, are still slow and terrible for SEO, or as good as any other theme. And you'd get SCHEMA errors in google console anyway lol

I've been thinking of using github pages because they offer hosting and seems its a modern solution.
Not sure if its allowed if my project is not open source though. (Its not open source).
Also not sure if its indexable in google and how's its seo potential like.

WP is just easy to use Buddy. You should try Flutter Language or you can use Phyton for a more fast theme and work. Thanks, Me latter.

The highest quality website is a website developed from 0 with pure HTML & CSS by a quality programmer who puts the meta tags correctly,
has a good eye and just uses good practice in general.

Why?
Because HTML & CSS websites barely have any bloat (and the bloat can be easily cleaned with PurgeCSS) which makes them signaficatlly faster and cheaper to host, they are unique (IMPORTANT FOR SEO) and have more
flexbility, this results in a higher potential in design, but the design's quality all depends on the developer.

Every CMS including WordPress is just bloated and heavy by design, there is just no way around it, sure you can optimize WordPress,
use lightweight themes like Astra and such, but its still WordPress at the end of the day.

What about react native?

Yeah im not gonna write my own site with html and css only because it would take time that id rather spend on my project

but in the same time id also not invest time in clunky cmses from ancient age like wordpress

maybe i should look into static pages managers and generators, perhaps they could work like a blog would

If you don't have the budget or time, then why not just buy a template for now and just edit the text?

The average person doesn't care nor knows that, as long as the website looks good, and if I am being honest, every website CMS like WordPress is clunky and full of bloat.

But If you want a good CMS for blogging alone then I recommend HTMLy or Bludit, both are very lightweight and fast,
you can also install them in a single click in every hosting that has Softaculous

WP is slow but this also depends on the hosting service.
There are tons of beautiful themes in WP. Try the theme template then.
SEO is not an automated thing. So SEO theme is a lie, that's true.
