Making WordPress sites load faster.
Plugins
WPBakery is the builder most people meet by inheriting a site built with it. Understanding how it stores layouts explains both why it is everywhere and why leaving it is genuinely expensive.
Plugins
Beaver Builder's reputation is for stability and for behaving reasonably when you remove it. Both are real, and neither means a builder-built site is portable in the way people assume.
Themes
GeneratePress is deliberately small. Its free version is a genuinely complete lightweight theme, and its premium tier is a set of modules you enable only where you need them.

Kadence is a light theme with its own header and footer builders and a block library alongside it. That split is the thing to understand: the theme is portable, the blocks are the dependency.
Themes
The7 is a multipurpose theme built around bundled page builders and a very large options panel. Its strength is that it does everything; its cost is that everything it does becomes yours to maintain.

Divi is a theme and a page builder sold as one product on an unusually generous licence. Both halves of that sentence explain why people stay with it and why leaving is expensive.
Website Building
Managed hosting is a staffing decision priced as a hosting bill. You buy back the hours spent on updates, backups and caching, and you pay in restrictions and in a stack you no longer fully control.

Every upload becomes several files on disk and a post in the database. Once a library reaches a few thousand items, the decisions you did not make at the start start costing you.

A landing page is a page with one job and everything else removed. On WordPress that means a template with no navigation, one call to action, and a measurement plan you set up before you launch it.

Putting a proxy in front of WordPress solves real problems and introduces a specific set of new ones — redirect loops, mixed content, cached logged-in pages and a visitor IP that is no longer the visitor.
Themes
A photography theme has one job: deliver large images fast and without mangling them. Most fail on the same three points — the crop, the compression, and where the gallery data lives.
Themes
Screenshots tell you nothing. What decides whether a theme is a good one is how it behaves on a phone, what it weighs, how it is maintained, and how much of your content it holds hostage.
