LARAVEL VS WORDPRESS

WordPress can be fast for simple marketing sites. Laravel is better when your business needs custom workflows and long-term control.

01. Custom functionality

If your process does not fit plugin assumptions, Laravel gives cleaner long-term architecture and fewer brittle workarounds.

02. Performance discipline

Both can perform well, but Laravel projects often provide tighter control over code paths, queries, and component rendering behavior.

03. Security and maintainability

Plugin-heavy stacks increase update risk. Laravel allows focused dependency management and more predictable upgrade strategy.

04. Growth readiness

For SMEs moving toward custom portals, memberships, or complex ecommerce logic, Laravel usually scales more cleanly over time.
