A few notes:
- The amount of space you get from these hosters is just staggering. I'd be interested to know how many Wordpress sites out there even reach a gigabyte's worth of assets
- People pay $25 a month to host WP sites???
- wp-login is a slow process for some reason, would love to know why
- Evidently, hosting WP sites is complex enough for there to be a rich ecosystem of managed WP-hosting-services
- Nobody bothers implementing CSP properly (that's usually how you tank Mozilla Observatory scores that badly)
It seems to me that there is a giant market there, just waiting to be snapped up by whomever figures out how to get people bought into the static-everything ecosystem, where things run both faster and cheaper.
1. Space gets eaten up very quickly if you have media assets. I've had clients with 30GB of media assets in a month. It once crashed a hosting company's file system it was so big.
2. People pay thousands. It is being used by some of the largest companies in the world and largest websites. Most people, of course, don't need to spend that though.
3. It's logging in a user, you have to hit the database to check credentials.
4. WordPress is powering 40% of websites out there right now? It makes sense.
5. I didn't dig further into it, but it was interesting to see those results
