Front end libraries vs WordPress

gusthebrute · Feb 9, 2023

I never hear about anyone ranking other than using WordPress. Any data on this? Or is it for good reason I never hear about this? I would assume react or vue with Gatsby or using nextjs or something would be way better than WordPress.

Or is it just because WordPress is so easy for anyone to use?

Regardless I'd love to know! I just built a next app with a headless CMS and it's lightning fast. And you can control any meta data,tags,alt text etc...

WordPress is so easy for anyone to use

This is why people use Wordpress. There are a lot of themes and plugins. Also, finding solutions to a problem is way easier than using any other CMS. However, the ranking doesn't really doesn't depend on whether you use WordPress or some other CMS. It's just that people stick to WordPress for ease of use.

Thanks for the reply! But it would matter some wouldnt it? A factor in SEO is page speed is it not ( SEO noob here) and wp feels dreadfully slow. And the scores it gets are not nearly as good as next.

Depends on optimization and how you manage the codes for a lightweight website. I get above 90+ score on GTMetrix most of the time.

Wordpress is the best choice. I have some old sites that are made in simple html and they are at the top as well and bring traffic.
A big difference is what theme you use. My theme for example has 100 results when checked (on desktop) and a bit less on mobile. And in general I often see in the top there are sites that have less speed - and they are at the top positions!

Completely different things. One is a CMS, the others are framework libraries.

You'll still need a backend for react etc unless you want to just manage the site by editing the files and redeploying everytime

Yea I am familiar with them curious if one is better for ranking. Maybe for speed and optimization

WordPress can be fast aswell! For frontend framworks dont forget to use server side rendering!!
