WordPress powers over 40% of the entire websites.
It’s the most flexible, creator-friendly platform ever built, but somehow, myths keep holding users back.
At WPDIVE, we’ve worked with thousands of creators, and we’ve seen these same misconceptions pop up again and again.
So let’s set the record straight, and give your WordPress Websites the freedom it deserves.
Table of Contents
Myth #1: “Too many plugins slow down your Website.”
Not true – bad plugins slow down your site, not quantity.
If your plugins are well-coded, regularly updated, and come from trusted developers, you can run 20 or even 50 without major performance issues.
Pro tip: Audit your plugins once a month and remove what you don’t use – it’s about quality, not count.
Myth #2: “You need to code to make WordPress websites fast.”
Speed isn’t about coding, it’s about setup and optimization.
A clean theme, a good cache plugin, optimized images, and proper hosting can make your site lightning-fast, even with zero custom code.
WordPress speed = smart configuration, not complex development.
Myth #3: “Themes limit your creativity.”
Old myth. Modern themes (especially from creative developers ) are flexible design frameworks.
With today’s builders, Elementor, Gutenberg, Bricks, you can customize almost anything without touching a line of code.
Myth #4: “Using page builders ruins SEO.”
Nope. What ruins SEO is poor content structure, slow hosting, or ignoring best practices.
Modern page builders are SEO-friendly if you build with intention.
Just use headings properly, compress media, and focus on valuable content.
Myth #5: “WordPress is not secure.”
WordPress is as secure as you make it.
Weak passwords, outdated plugins, and ignored updates cause problems, not WordPress itself.
Keep everything updated, use a security plugin, and you’re solid.
Myth #6: “WordPress is only for small websites.”
Tell that to NASA, BBC America, and Sony Music, all powered by WordPress.
It scales beautifully when configured correctly and can handle massive traffic with the right infrastructure.
Myth #7: “You can’t run a business site on WordPress.”
WordPress isn’t just for blogs anymore, it’s for eCommerce, SaaS, portfolios, and full-scale enterprise sites.
You can build, sell, automate, and integrate, all inside one ecosystem.
The Real Truth
WordPress is limitless when you ditch the myths and embrace the right mindset.
It’s not about what WordPress can’t do, it’s about what you haven’t tried yet.
The beauty of WordPress lies in its flexibility:
- It’s open-source, so you’re free to create anything.
- It’s community-driven, so innovation never stops.
- And it’s endlessly customizable, so your website can evolve as your goals grow.
At WPDIVE, we help creators, developers, and agencies go beyond templates and discover the real potential of WordPress.
