Would my site run faster if I abandoned Wordpress and 'rewrote it from scratch'?

• pico-comments

  1 8 0.0 PHP

  A comments plugin for Pico CMS

Yes. You can of course code it by yourself or add more functionalities by plugins. For comments, if I'm right, you can use this one.

• ProcessWire

  11 887 8.7 PHP

  ProcessWire 3.x is a friendly and powerful open source CMS with a strong API.

  

Regardless of that, I'd like to throw in ProcessWire as an option. You basically define all your fields and templates you want to have in the admin, and then you create your templates. You can also use Page Classes to extend functions for a specific template. Your application sits in the "sites" folder and is separated from core. I'm running two websites with that one.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Contao

  4 321 9.9 PHP

  Contao Open Source CMS

  

If you're familiar with Symfony, you could also check out Contao. I never really used it, though, because it's a bit too complex for me. But in theory, you can use most libraries for Symfony there.

• cms

  33 3,380 9.9 PHP

  The core Laravel CMS Composer package

  

For this particular use case I would go with Statamic for the bulk of the site and Spatie Laravel Comments. Drop the shared hosting and run it on a Digital Ocean droplet.

• Next.js

  2,037 120,313 10.0 JavaScript

  The React Framework

  

In my opinion, NextJS is very easy to understand if you have experience with React. You can easily deploy on Vercel and also you have good documentation here https://nextjs.org/. You also have some demos on GitHub https://nextjs.org/examples for headless CMS integrations.

• winter

  17 1,278 8.8 PHP

  Free, open-source, self-hosted CMS platform based on the Laravel PHP Framework.

  

Or Winter CMS (https://wintercms.com/) ;)
