Myths about WordPress Websites
WordPress: The World’s Most Popular Website Builder
WordPress is widely considered easy to use and is the CMS of choice for almost 75 million websites.”
WordPress is the world’s most popular tool to help you launch and manage a website. WordPress powers over one third of all the websites on the Internet, and it provides a flexible way to create and customize a website with the need for special technical knowledge.
WordPress Is Just For Blogging
Yes, it’s true that WordPress started its journey as a blogging platform, but over the past few years, it have come out as one of the robust CMS platforms to build any kind of website.
Whether it is a basic informative website, e-commerce stores or web portals, WordPress can handle them all for you.
Until now, nothing beats WordPress when it comes to blogging. And we all know how blogging can help your website to secure higher rankings on search engines.

WordPress Is Not Secured
Now this a very common myth that most of the people have.
When they think about building their website using WordPress, they immediately get worried about the security of their websites.
The reason of this popular misconception is that there has been many cases where WordPress websites were hacked and infected with viruses & malicious codes.
This is very clear that the security of any website is not solely affected by its CMS (content management system) There are many other factors that makes a website insecure. Some of these factors are terrible web hosting, easy-to-crack passwords, etc.
However, when it comes to WordPress security, there are several ways in which we can tighten its security:
- Changing the conventional username and login URL of WordPress backend.
- Changing the file permissions of important files.
- Tightening the passwords of WordPress backend, Control Panel, and FTP.
- Installing security plugins like “All In One WP Security”.

WordPress Is Not Scalable
This is another reason why most of the businesses don’t want to user WordPress to build their websites. They believe that WordPress is not scalable and hence if required in future, their websites can’t be expanded according to their requirements.
