The 3 problems WordPress doesn't tell you about
What web agencies don't tell you when they recommend WordPress "because it's free".
WordPress: The Myth of Free
WordPress is free only on paper. The real cost easily exceeds €3,000 a year. With KeideaCMS you invest in your business, not in software updates.
- premium hosting
- paid themes
- essential plugins for SEO and security
- developer hours to keep everything up to date
An easy target for hackers
Over 11,000 vulnerabilities discovered in 2025 alone. Every plugin you install is a potential entry point for cybercriminals. KeideaCMS uses a proprietary, closed architecture: no third-party plugins, no public security flaws. Your data is safe.
- Vulnerable plugins
- Need for constant updates
- Third-party extensions for security
Slowness that drives customers away
An average WordPress site loads dozens of unnecessary scripts before showing any content. 53% of users abandon a site that takes more than 3 seconds to load. KeideaCMS is designed to be lightning fast: top scores on Google's Core Web Vitals from day one.
- Loading of unnecessary scripts
- Slow loading times

How much does it really cost to manage a WordPress site?
Many agencies offer WordPress because it's easy to install, but they hide the management costs. Every month you'll have to pay for plugin updates, backups, security and resolving conflicts between components.
KeideaCMS eliminates this fixed expense: the platform is stable, secure and doesn't require ongoing maintenance. Your budget can finally go towards marketing, not technical support.
Zero costs for premium plugins
Zero emergency interventions
Zero hours lost on updates
