Pros and cons of using a lighter CMS, ClassicPress

Compared to WordPress for a blog with archived posts on a VPS (subdomain), let’s consider several factors.

Similarities:

• Both ClassicPress and WordPress are based on the same foundational code. ClassicPress is a fork of WordPress, created by a team that includes former WordPress contributors. The primary goal of ClassicPress is to provide a more lightweight and less bloated alternative to WordPress by removing or delaying the inclusion of newer, more resource-intensive features.

Pros of ClassicPress over WordPress:

1. Performance: ClassicPress is designed to be more lightweight. It includes fewer built-in features, which can translate to faster load times and better performance on a VPS, especially if resources are limited.
2. Security: With a smaller attack surface due to fewer features and less frequent updates required for new features, ClassicPress might offer a slightly better security posture for basic sites.
3. Simplicity: For users who prefer the classic WordPress interface and do not need the latest features, ClassicPress offers a simpler, more familiar experience.

Cons of ClassicPress compared to WordPress:

1. Community and Support: WordPress has a much larger community, which translates to more extensive documentation, more themes and plugins available, and a larger pool of developers familiar with the platform. ClassicPress, being smaller, might have fewer resources available.
2. Plugin and Theme Compatibility: While ClassicPress aims to be compatible with many WordPress plugins and themes, there might be limitations. Some plugins and themes may not work or could require additional tweaks to function properly.
3. Future-proofing: With a smaller user base and potentially less development momentum, there’s a risk that ClassicPress might not evolve as quickly as WordPress in terms of new features, security patches, or compatibility with future web standards.
