The base web analytics metrics from Google’s Lighthouse skew towards Webflow in our tests. Many industry experts point out that Webflow is much faster to load than Wordpress sites. Wordpress requires a lot of custom development work for customized page layouts and requires many plugins to extend the basic functionality. That in turn means that not only the Wordpress install, but albo all plugins need frequent updates that could potentially cause problems with the website. Webflow allows for a lot of front-end customization out of the box and there are solid external tools to supercharge it if needed, that operate on a much more superficial layer of web, without changing the website’s core back-end code. Webflow is a for-profit centralized technology, which means customer support in case of technical problems, which is not available with Wordpress. Webflow has a much gentler learning curve, especially for non-technical people. Its code is easily exportable and clean in case you’d like to export the website, host it somewhere else or extend it’s functionality (it’s simple HTML, CSS and JS code). In contrast, a Wordpress site will always need to be maintained on a Wordpress install.
