Millions of people face the same issues with their business, blog, or portfolio website, like being too expensive, too technical, too slow, and hard to find on Google. WordPress was built exactly to solve these problems. Currently, 43% of websites on the internet are WordPress-based. Why? Because it works. Let’s see what problems it solves.
1. BUILDING WEBSITE COSTS TOO MUCH MONEY
WordPress is an affordable website builder. You only have to pay for a domain name and hosting. Anyone can launch a professional website cheaply. Also, WordPress provides you with tons of free themes and plugins. Small shop owners and other businesses use WordPress to save thousands of dollars every year.
2. MY WEBSITE DOES NOT SHOW UP ON GOOGLE
Many developers create messy code, which is the main reason Google cannot read your site properly. So, basically, your website is hidden in search results. WordPress fixes this biggest problem by adding SEO-friendly code. Plugins like Yoast SEO or Rank Math help you add meta titles, keywords, and sitemaps in minutes. So basically, this platform is designed to rank well on Google. Google loves the things that clean URLs, fast page loading, and proper heading structures, are created by WordPress.
3. WEBSITE IS TOO SLOW
If your website is too slow, the visitors may leave immediately. As studies show, 53% of users leave if a page takes more than 3 seconds to load. Again, WordPress has the solution for this problem; free caching plugins such as WP Super Cache or LiteSpeed Cache can make your site load in less than one second.
4. WEBSITE LOOKS BAD ON PHONES AND TABLETS
Most of the traffic to your website comes from mobile phones. Over 60% of users browse on a phone. If your website does not look good on a mobile screen, you are losing more than half of your visitors. So almost all of the modern websites use WordPress themes that support mobile responsiveness. Your site fits on any screen size, like on a phone, tablet, and desktop. Did you know? Google uses mobile-first indexing, which means a mobile-friendly site ranks easily in search results.
5. I WANT TO SELL PRODUCTS BUT CANNOT AFFORD A STORE
Shopify is a platform known for its amazing ecommerce functionality, but it charges $29 – $299/month just to run an online store. This is too expensive for new sellers in the market.
Instead, you can use WooCommerce, which is a free plugin and your site into a full online store. You can sell physical products, digital downloads, and subscriptions.
6. MY WEBSITE GETS HACKED EASILY
Hackers’ job is to target websites daily. And websites without any proper security become easy prey for hackers. The most dangerous thing is that your site’s data and your users’ information can be easily stolen. But free plugins like Wordfence Security add a firewall, malware scanner, and login protection to your WordPress site. You can add a free SSL certificate (HTTPS) to your site too, which is a must-have requirement to rank your site on Google.
