This is one of web development's most discussed topics. WordPress is the world's most widely used content management system, yet leading companies increasingly prefer custom development with modern frameworks.
WordPress's main advantages are fast launch and relatively low initial cost. Templates and plugins allow a simple website to be assembled quickly. For large businesses or projects with unique requirements, however, WordPress faces serious obstacles.
Loading speed is a major problem. Every new feature, such as languages, SEO, forms or security, requires another plugin. Dozens of plugins overload the server, create code conflicts and slow pages down. Security is another serious issue: WordPress websites face automated attacks most frequently.
Custom development, for example with Next.js, means writing only the code your business needs, without unnecessary clutter. The result is lightning-fast loading, Google PageSpeed of 95–100%, immunity to typical viruses and integration with any complex internal system.
