“Battle of the Builders: WordPress or Webflow – Who Reigns Supreme in Web Design?”
6. Performance
Webflow offers out-of-the-box performance optimization. Their hosting is CDN-backed and offers image optimization, but it provides limited control beyond that.
With self-hosted WordPress, performance depends on your hosting provider, performance-enhancing plugins, and site architecture. Since WordPress is an open source software, you have access to all parts of the software, meaning you can tinker with every aspect of site performance.
Alternatively, you also have the option to relinquish speed optimization to a managed hosting provider. For example, with WordPress.com hosting, you benefit from optimized servers, caching, fast themes, and a CDN. Business and Commerce plans can also take advantage of the Site Accelerator.
