    @Hari yes, I see what you mean. That’s just CSS and easily fixed

    @Hari I did mention this to @sinanisler a while back. Seems he has a very high resolution in his mobile device which is why it looks fine on his.

    Yes, I certainly hear you there.

    The layout looks much better on my device now.

    @Hari I know you are in the ‘love’ phase of wordpress, but from my 15 years experience hosting on and off WP sites for personal and business use, you WILL have problems. WP is plugin hell land. Plugins are mostly low quality and don’t work well with each other. It’s easy to add ‘just this one plugin’ and later realize you have an unmaintanable monster.

    When you update WP, problems arise. Then it’s time to hire someone to fix them. Unfortunately, you will want to spend as little as possible, as we all do. Then upwork offers some really affordable freelancers… who barely know what they are doing or care about it.

    IMHO, reconsider going to WP. Static sites, as you seem to like, will save you headaches in the future if you can live with the limitations (it seems you can; you have found comment software that would work for you and that you could self host).

    @qwinter I can’t agree with this more if I tried. All the points here are salient and resound perfectly with me as I’ve been in the same boat over the years. I’ve also seen my fair share of poorly designed WordPress sites that are so slow, you could actually get out and walk faster, or even draw the site on paper quicker yourself 😞

    Whilst I’ll always love WordPress for it’s simplicity and extensibility, it is the ultimate Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde product and hard to achieve a balance between performance and security.

    And BuddyPress? Don’t get me started. That project should never have been allowed to continue and should have been banned from the WordPress ecosystem.

    @qwinter i have 10+ years experience in managing wp sites. Anything from managing or devlopment or speed is a cake walk in wordpress.

    Try CF APO you will change your opinion.

    Hosting wordpress in vps is much more better than managing discourse or flarum with SSH

    At this moment my top most priority is SEO first

    As far i can see if we need any SEO changes in flarum it would cost anywhere from 200 to 500 USD. Few changes are not at all possible in flarum.

    I wish you all the best, if you have time money patience be the part of building great communities.

    If you need success and want to witness growth use wordpress or nodebb

    I can challenge anyone… with the same page title i can bring any wordpress site on top in the search results. (I mean we can host two different websites and see which will rank top wp vs flarum) 😂 . When you want to beat your competitors you should take every advantage of SEO to get top rankings.

    @sinanisler this is a good point (and meme 😀). WordPress isn’t simply “bad” but it’s made that way with poorly written plugins and cheap / bad hosting.

    after a month we are Moving to wordpress . I’m done with flarum .

    I compared sina’s wordpress with flarum and sina’s site got 100 score.

    We will be going forward with 2022 wp theme with minimal CSS optimization

    Like luceos said SPA will be always SPA. 🙏
    Flarum could be a great software but for my needs it is not the right choice. Wordpress steels the first prize 💖 when it comes to speed and SEO.

    @Hari I thought you’d say this. In addition, this comment is completely wrong

    747ba331-8c37-464a-9a01-10a24b781090-image.png

    Yes, an SPA by default will handle differently compared to classic applications, but that’s where the division stops and the blurred lines start. Flarum is based on PHP, which, because of it’s need to compile everything when accessed, will always be slower.

    This comment is correct - and totally honest

    And if you review the thread below I started back in the day before I switched to NodeBB (the best thing I ever did in my view), you’ll see my point clearly - the most glaringly obvious is this

    @phenomlab i remember this thread at that time never took it seriously, it is a eye opener.

    I’ve checked nodebb and discourse too both have got good scores when comparing to flarum.

    @Hari Yep… Now you know why I jumped ship - that and the complete lack (or interest in) a GDPR plugin.

    @Panda said in WP / Woocommerce Mystery: Just back to my other question, have you ever used Shopify? It insists on a templating language to use any custom js. Not personally as never had any need, however, I do know that it uses Liquid for JS templating. It’s written in Ruby and is used to generate dynamic content on shop fronts. There’s zero reason as to why it wouldn’t work with data supplied by 3rd party API’s, although WordPress code won’t natively work for obvious reasons, and as such, this code would need to be re-written. The JS part will likely work with minor modification, but not the PHP file in it’s current form.
