Yes, the core of wordpress is pretty secure (though way too slow).
For any page response that is predictable, I think static generation is
the route. If what the user wants to do falls into the sphere of a
template that doesn't have logins, I urge you to look at generating it
statically. The icing on the cake of course is when 90% of the requests
accept gzip responses.
Anyway. If you don't have time to keep the addons up todate, or the
author of the addon has abandoned it... well, would it have worked just
fine in an offline publication fashion?
But that's like saying that guns don't kill
people: the bullets that
users put in them are the problem.
Well, I fail to have an adequate analogy, but you're right, WordPress is
slow, we all want fast sites, that's how the "supercache" style plugins
exist, but they need write to the DocumentRoot, but that user has been
given a loaded gun at this point. So is WordPress the arms dealer?
Anyway. If anyone has success with WordPress in a static sense, please
follow up... hopefully it handles markdown, I'm open to giving it
another go if I can get the same functionality locally.
