[GRLUG] Faster down-loading alternatives to WordPress

[Grand Rapids Linux Users Group]

My host tells me that the slow download of my site is because of WP. 
They suggest checking whether some plugins are making it worse and also 
suggest using the wpsupercache plugin.

When I searched for alternatives to WP, they all seem to be alternative 
commercial sites (e.g. Big Daddy), except for Drupal. I've messed with 
Drupal in the past and am not inclined to go that way.

My experience (ten or more years old now) is that you get locked in with 
Big Daddy, Wix etc. Is that still a relevant consideration?

Are there any alternatives to WP for DIY sites that I could use with my 
current host?

Thanks.

PS-I'm back on Linux (Fedora 39) on Dell XPS 13 9315 after about five 
years on an inherited Mac. I'm running Win 10 in a VirtualBox VM to use 
Scrivener (and Word when nec). It works well except the box tends to 
overheat, especially when using an external monitor. I think that's what 
ruined the first SSD that came with the Dell. I've now installed the 
Freon Gnome extension.
