Friendly reminder to anyone who cares enough that you can still use WordPress to make your site with all your fancy plugins and layouts, and then export that to a static site for hosting. No need to actually host Wordpress itself that way you avoid nearly all of this BS.

this thing here. I’ve dramatically reduced support work at two shops I’ve set this up for. incidents went from from coupla times a month to once a year. not to mention - you don’t need no VPS no more, don’t need no database, nothing, the simplest web hosting will do and it’s very cache friendly.
