"A flexible website builder that grows with you"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

WordPress.com is a dependable choice if you want a website that’s easy to manage but still offers room to scale. It’s not perfect, but it does the job well for most small to mid-sized projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

What I don’t like is that some advanced features are locked behind higher-tier plans, so you eventually feel forced to upgrade if you want more control. Also, the interface can feel a bit cluttered at times, especially for beginners who just want to edit quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customization Heaven for Website Builders"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I really like the vast customization options on WordPress.com, especially the plugins for customization lovers like me. Plugins like LiteSpeed Cache help me by clearing my web cache, making my site and the dashboard run smooth. The Elementor plugin is great for customizing the homepage. I appreciate the export and import data feature too, as it allows me to back up my website data and restore it if something goes wrong. It's my all-time favorite feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

I think they need to work on recovering credentials details if the user forgets their username. There's no option to recover your username. If you forget both your username and registered email, you can't recover your login for the WordPress dashboard. Also, WordPress.com needs a basic beginner tutorial for the setup.

"Easy website setup with some limitations for developers"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I like how quickly I can get a site live on WordPress.com without dealing with hosting or technical setup. The editor is simple to use, themes look clean, and updates and security are handled automatically, so I can focus more on writing and managing content instead of maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

As a developer, it can feel limiting sometimes. Advanced customisation, full plugin control, and deeper backend access are locked behind higher plans, which can get frustrating when you want more flexibility or custom workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wordpress: The Website Builder of the Future "
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I like how user friendly Wordpress is, especially on the backend. It’s easy for me to create new drop down lists and menu additions. As well as posting new blog content. I like that I am able to upload as much content as I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

I dislike that Wordpress is the numerous plugins, updates accompanied by theme changes. Some of the plugins take long to update and the security regarding spam comments is frequent. I don’t agree with having to pay for a service to ensure that these falsified comments don’t appear on my page. This should be a free function through Wordpress.

"Ease of Use with Customization Options"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I like the ease of installing and configuring WordPress.com. In less than 5 minutes, I can have a basic website just by purchasing a domain and hosting. Then, I can customize it to be how I like. I also value that WordPress.com allows for the creation of self-manageable sites that are easy to update, with various integrations for sales, social media connection, and RSS feed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

Prevention against hacks was a problem, I suffered a lot of ransomware due to WordPress plug-ins. It was resolved by installing a third-party plug-in. Also, perhaps the customization of basic themes could improve, for example, by being able to change colors or arrange things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WordPress is extremely flexible and user-friendly, making it easy to create and manage websites of all sizes. The platform offers a wide range of themes and plugins, allowing for customization without heavy coding.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

Some plugins can conflict with each other, requiring careful management. Security requires attention, including updates and backups. Performance optimization may need additional plugins or technical adjustments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Platform with Extensive Plugin Support"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I appreciate that WordPress is the leading CMS in the market, which makes it easy to find help when needed. There are plenty of forums, videos, tutorials, and how-to guides available. Additionally, with such a large marketplace, there is a good chance you’ll find a plugin or theme that can address your specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

At times, some third-party solutions can be buggy, which can be a bit frustrating. Additionally, it can sometimes be difficult to locate the options for certain features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Customizable, Ideal for Blogging"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I really like WordPress.com for its vast variety of customization options, which are far more advanced compared to Blogger.com. The ability to add customized plugins, especially one I created for adding users in bulk, has been incredibly helpful, allowing me to easily manage authors, editors, and admins with great control and efficiency. I appreciate the excellent SEO management capabilities, having evolved from basic knowledge to using powerful tools and plugins for all facets of SEO, which WordPress.com supports far better than other platforms. The integration with tools like Google Analytics is also valuable, offering insightful statistics on website visitors. Furthermore, my experience with WordPress.com has been very stable; my blogs and ads run smoothly without any crashes, making it a reliable choice for my blogging needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

I find transferring content from Blogger to WordPress.com challenging and cumbersome. WordPress should have its own tool to import content directly from other platforms like Blogger because using third-party plugins leads to distorted data structures. These plugins require extra installation steps, and the content often ends up distorted, especially the figures. This makes the migration process unnecessarily difficult.

"Affordable and Beginner-Friendly Website Management"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

WordPress.com is an affordable website management solution for beginners. No need to hire a web hosting service to host websites, as hosting is included in every package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

Free users can add plugins for management. They should have allowed at least 2 plugins to test how things work. This will be very beneficial for beginners who have just started blogging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
