WordPress
WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) built on PHP and MySQL, originally designed as a blogging platform and later evolved into a general-purpose website-building tool. It provides visual content editing, theme template customization, and a plugin extension mechanism, supporting the creation and management of various website types including personal blogs, corporate sites, and e-commerce stores. Its extensive plugin ecosystem allows users to build basic websites without programming knowledge.

WordPress page caching (such as WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, CDN) directly returns cached pages without executing PHP, causing cached pages to be unable to count AI crawler visits through PHP hooks.
Page builders in the WordPress ecosystem (such as Elementor and Divi) lower the barrier to entry, but often bring performance overhead and code lock-in.
