Most WordPress speed advice reads like an identical script: compress your images, install a caching plugin, add a CDN, and upgrade to managed hosting. That advice is not inherently wrong. However, it was completely useless for diagnosing why a single course topic page on a live learning portal was…
Every web developer and agency owner eventually runs into the same dilemma: should you spin up a custom WordPress installation, or deploy a visual, hosted builder? For years, seasoned developers laughed off visual site builders. Early tools generated bloated markup, relied on brittle inline styles, and produced pages that…
