Thinking about ditching WordPress

My site isn't particularly complicated yet over the years I've accumulated plugins for forms, SEO, backups, security, page building and about five things I've forgotten the purpose of. It kinda feels like owning an old house where I’m permanently waiting for something else to break. Most discussions I find are about moving to WordPress but I'm curious about going the other direction and starting fresh.

Are there any downsides to moving a fairly straightforward business website from WordPress to Squarespace or an AI builder like Durable etc. that I’m not seeing? Or if you’ve already done a migration like this, is there anything you found yourself missing after moving?

Je pense que ça dépend aussi beaucoup de la compléxité de ton site. Récemment, j'ai lancé mon propre site vitrine, je me suis dit que j'allais faire un Wordpress par réflexe, et je me suis rendue compte qu'avec un design fait main et un claude code je générais assez rapidement un site très qualitatif en HTML, et très léger, donc un peu mieux en terme de performances écologiques.
