When it first appeared in 2003, WordPress was a simple platform for bloggers that enabled the blog to be launched and maintained in a simple and fast way. In time, it evolved into a tool for creating dynamic web sites, i.e. it has become a serious CMS (Content Management System) solution. CMS gives you the ability to manage the content of your website (adding new pages, editing existing pages, adding and editing texts, images).
The purpose of creating a website through WordPress CMS is to allow a user who is not familiar with any of the web technologies (PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.) to modify and add content to the website. The user only requires basic computer skills, such as, for example, working in Microsoft Word or similar text editors.
WordPress web site functionality can be expanded and adjusted/tailored to the the user’s needs by adding new plugins, themes, and widgets. Plugins are add-ons such as: photo galleries, contact forms, polls, etc. However, these features are not intended for users who do not have at least some pre-existing knowledge in working with the WordPress. Inappropriate use can cause major problems in the website performance such as : functional disturbance, long load times, creating security vulnerabilities, poor user experience on mobile devices, and ultimately it can lead to a complete crash of the website.
