I used it for a while before, and then when I reached 300,000 articles, the program was already very stuck.

Well it has many advantages as well. I'm not going to list them as it is clear what it's good for, but I guess not enough for 300,000 articles site. How about you share what do you mean by "stuck"? is it slow? not working? 404's for no reason? db response time?

Page opening speed is very slow
 
If you generate that many articles, why not consider using a static site generator, like Hugo? I'm sure it can easily handle that many articles, and it's ridiculously fast (like lightning fast).
 
WordPress is powerful for non-technical persons. I don't agree that it has that many disadvantages.

If you have 300k articles, then it's time to optimize your website by converting it to static and then distributing the content worldwide on Cloudflare Pages.
Your pages will load around the world in 80ms :cool:

Cheers!

You need to scale up your server game!

Either hire a dev to setup WP-CLI or get dedicated database server and setup separate server for files.

Either, you can put it up on Cloud e.g. AWS, GCP etc and get a DevOps to setup the deployment etc.

Assuming you are making lots of money less hiring DevOps can be very expensive.
 
Well if you have so many posts can be also problem by your host and not necesarly wordpress
 
You spam any cms read hard it will be hard to manage. So you issue, like others said, is too many posts.
 
I would recommend doing at least one of the following:
1) Tune your database, clean old entries, optimize it as possible.
2) Move to a better hosting, perhaps a dedicated.
3) Use good caching software / plugin for displaying your pages faster.

did you use database index? if not it will slow down your site.
I've 500000 articles with photos, and happliy hosting on shared hosting with 2 CPU, 1GB RAM, and ofcourse full-cache plugin.
 
Ease of use and deployment, along with a wide array of plugins for almost every purpose.
 
Its always expandable and adjustable, you better get some good paid plugin to speedup your website.
 
everything has advantages as well as disadvantages. It depends on sites special contents as well requirments as well as users expectations, user-friendliness
 
Because use it very cheaper and very easy than write code from 0.
 
People use WordPress because there's no other equally powerful CMS available. That's it.
