yes wordpress is easy to use sometimes very confusing today with gutenberg and blocks or blocksy themes (cause lots of render blocking scripts) , some themes works well with gutenberg, some not, elementor themes not work well with gutenberg so my experience, so all this could be confusing it's becoming complicated today.
But wait a moment folks, I must ask you this;
when over 60% in the web uses wordpress cms, so why many big media newspapers companies in the world (not all)
not using wordpress cms (check their view sources to see it) ? Do you can answer me that?
For me it looks like the "masses" uses wordpress cms not the web elite. Or one of the web elite; wef com as example, they not use wordpress cms and many other big media newspapers too. These big guns are using ez Publish, Escenic, Polypoly.....or Magnolia cms, but not wordpress cms.
Some of them built their own cms - whey when wordpress cms is free of cost?
What makes Magnolia or ezPublish better than wordpress cms?
So why ? Do you have an answer?
Have a nice day
