Why I migrated from Wordpress to Hugo
1. Security
One of the main reasons for migrating was because of security. I have a number of WordPress websites that I look after, and I use the Wordfence security plugin on all of them. I have Wordfence setup to send me weekly activity reports, and each week, without fail, all the WordPress sites are attacked from at least a dozen different countries.
The content on these websites rarely changes once posted, so a static website generator like Hugo is perfect for my needs and makes my website more secure as the user is accessing static html files, so there are no dynamic php files or database access that can be exploited by attackers. No known security vulnerabilities with WordPress or plugins that can be used by attackers targeting my website.
