Side-by-side comparison

    SiteFyd vs WordPress

    WordPress powers 40% of the web but ships with plugin bloat, security risks, and slow Core Web Vitals. SiteFyd builds hand-coded HTML and React sites that load faster, rank better, and cost less to maintain. Here is how they compare on the factors that matter most to founders and small business owners.

    Our recommendation

    Pick SiteFyd if you want speed, security, and zero plugin maintenance. Pick WordPress only if your team is already deep in the WP ecosystem or you need a specific plugin that has no modern alternative.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is SiteFyd faster than WordPress?

    Significantly. SiteFyd sites ship as static or lightly hydrated React and score 95+ on Lighthouse, while typical WordPress sites struggle to break 70 because of plugin overhead.

    Can I edit a SiteFyd site without code?

    Yes. We add a headless CMS like Sanity, Contentful, or Decap on request, so content edits stay simple while the site stays fast.

    What about WordPress plugins I rely on?

    Most popular WordPress workflows (forms, ecommerce, bookings, SEO) have modern equivalents that integrate cleanly with a SiteFyd build, usually faster and cheaper.

    Will I lose SEO migrating from WordPress?

    No. We map every URL, port your content, and add 301 redirects so rankings transfer. Most clients see ranking improvements within 60 days of switching.
