"WordPress powers countless websites across various domains, offering incredible versatility. This Content Management System (CMS) is the undisputed leader in the CMS market, powering an impressive 43.6% of all websites globally, according to these statistics. With over 810 million websites built on the platform and hundreds more launching daily (500+), its adoption continues to surge. This widespread use gives WordPress a massive 62% CMS market share, significantly outpacing its rivals."
"However, even the most robust WordPress sites can face performance challenges. Slowdowns are often caused by factors such as slow-loading plugins, database connection issues, infrastructure capacity problems, network trouble, large page assets (like images or fonts), and broken links. This is why robust monitoring is essential for maintaining a fast, reliable, and user-friendly website. The question now is: what should be monitored in WordPress? To truly master your WordPress environment, monitoring needs to extend across the entire stack:"
WordPress powers 43.6% of websites worldwide and hosts over 810 million sites, growing by 500+ sites daily and holding a 62% CMS market share. Performance slowdowns arise from slow plugins, database connection issues, infrastructure capacity limits, network problems, large page assets like images or fonts, and broken links. Effective monitoring must cover the full stack: application code and plugins, underlying hosts or VMs, the web server (e.g., Apache), the database (e.g., MySQL), front-end end-user experience and business metrics such as visitor counts, device usage, and content performance. Solutions include full-stack observability platforms like New Relic.
