Absolutely! I’ve noticed the same thing. A lot of people blame WordPress when the real problem is usually a bloated theme, too many plugins, or poorly optimized images. With the right setup and a little attention to optimization, WordPress can be incredibly fast.

Thanks for the comment. You’re absolutely right—Core Web Vitals should be checked across different page types, not just the homepage, since each page can have its own performance challenges. My main point in the article is that WordPress itself isn’t slow; in most cases, performance issues come from poorly optimized themes, excessive plugins, large images, and other implementation choices.
