WordPress vs. SQRL CMS: Which CMS Fits Your Business Better?

Technology Foundation

WordPress

  • ► Built on legacy PHP.

  • ► Heavy reliance on plugins.

  • ► Frequent compatibility issues after updates.

SQRL CMS

  • ► Powered by Laravel — modern, secure, and fast.

  • ► Modular architecture with Blade or Vue (SSR).

  • ► Clean codebase, ready for custom development.

Custom Features

WordPress

  • ► Most projects end up as a patchwork of plugins.

  • ► Each update risks breaking something, performance drops, and custom needs often require expensive workarounds.

SQRL CMS

Custom features are not a problem. With full Laravel flexibility you get:

  • ► seamless migrations,

  • ► your own controllers,

  • ► API integrations,

  • ► any logic you can build in Laravel.

WordPress

► The more plugins you add, the slower it gets.

SQRL CMS

► Lightweight core, optimized for speed. Handles catalogs and filtering with ease.

Security

WordPress

► The #1 target for attacks due to its massive user base.

► Security depends on constant plugin updates.

SQRL CMS

► Built on Laravel with modern security practices.

► Smaller attack surface, fewer vulnerabilities.

Business Automation

WordPress

► Automation requires multiple plugins and custom code, often slowing down your site.
