For the past few months, my sites have been running much, much slower than the previous few years. In a post earlier today, I blamed my web host but maybe I'm wrong? It might be the fact that they're built on WordPress? I have a site that I've been building with straight HTML and CSS and it's running just fine.
I think instead of blaming my web host, who has been awesome for years, it's time to move completely away from WordPress. If, for some reason, I need a CMS, maybe I should finally get serious about moving to @drupal or @joomla, and everything else, build with HTML and CSS?
