Stop paying the WordPress tax
WordPress SEO works—but at what cost?
Plugin dependency hell
Need Yoast or Rank Math for SEO, ShortPixel for images, WP Rocket for caching, Wordfence for security. One update breaks everything. One conflict kills your rankings.
40-60 Lighthouse scores
WordPress averages 40-60 on mobile even with optimization plugins. Database queries pile up. Render-blocking JavaScript everywhere. Google notices.
5-10 hours monthly maintenance
WordPress core updates. Plugin updates. Theme updates. PHP updates. Security patches. Testing after each update. Fixing broken layouts. This is your life now.
