Having a serious amount of issues with load speed due to the amount of plug-ins and that a client are using... I've built up a front end of their website to help them better understand web flow and the sorts, just they want to stick with Wordpress.

I don't like Wordpress, but if I finished this front end is it possible to interlink where needs be?
 
no they cant, but it still shouldnt be that slow. maybe bad theme or plugin used?
 
It's competitively slow, like I can't find a competitor with as good influence or lead with such dramatic flaws to their digital presence... :(

Just gonna keep doing my job. Working, suggesting and thinking. :)
 
No matter plugin is for wordpress or presta Shop or DLE you can always covert them to your php site below is Example
videoshare popup which was built for wordpress video sites

And i am using them on youtube php clone site. If you can handle you can convert and modify how ever you want ;)

Good luck :)
 
Yes you can use plenty of WP functionality and plugins without loading wpcore. For example via API, WordPress is almost a full featured end point, including login, db access, post listing, etc...

Problem with plugins is that they use a lot of wpcore functions, which you may have not coded obviously. So you can not copy paste directly but use them indirectly if they have some sort of api integration
 
Love it guys, have a path to go on now. :)
 
To use wordpress plugin on the coded site, you need to port the frontend to them of wordpress first. Then you can use any wordpress plugin which you want
 
Yes, as a matter of fact, you can include a non-html homepage as part of the website.

If the dynamic nature of the content isn't important, then a rudimentary method would be to create a new page template for each page including the homepage. You can include wp_head() in the header to ensure all the files load. Everything else is pure HTML, so the number of requests comes down drastically. At the same time, you can add menu/widgets and sidebar to these pages.

Additionally, I'd use perfmatters to disable unwanted scripts etc. and kill a lot of the requests. - https://perfmatters.io/docs/disable-scripts-per-post-page/

There are number of things to check

- Plugins verions
- Plugins supported PHP version
- Theme supported PHP version
( If all support the newest PHP version then check if you are running on that PHP version (v8+))
- optimize your php.ini
- You are not mentioning but I guess you have install Cache plugin.
- Apply Img lazyload
- Ensure that javascripts loads after ! page load

What is the web hosting type? Shared Hosting or VPS? If is Shared Hosting contact your hosting provider and ask if they can increase the resources such as RAM/CPU. If is VPS then make sure that you have optimize your Database server + Apache (consider configuring memcache or similar).

Finally in regards your plugins question. No you cannot use WordPress plugins on custom coded websites BUT you can code the same or even better modules.

Personally I find the WordPress plugins very basic for what they provider and most of them are codded poorly .
