Next.js vs WordPress: Which to Choose for Your Project?
WordPress runs 43% of the internet but Next.js is where serious products are built now. Here's an honest comparison — not a sales pitch — to help you pick the right tool.
What we deliver
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Performance
Next.js: sub-second loads, 95+ Lighthouse. WordPress: 60–80 without heavy optimisation.
SEO
Both can rank well. Next.js gives more precise control over metadata, structured data and Core Web Vitals.
Cost
WordPress: $0 software + hosting/plugins ($50–$500/mo). Next.js: dev cost upfront, then ~$20/mo hosting.
Customisation
WordPress: plugins limit architecture. Next.js: unlimited — full code ownership.
Security
WordPress: constant plugin vulnerabilities. Next.js: minimal attack surface by design.
Scalability
WordPress: needs managed hosting at scale. Next.js on Vercel: scales globally automatically.
