WordPress Scalability
I rate WordPress' scalability a ten out of ten.
View full review »In my company, the majority of our clients use WordPress, which accounts for more than 80% of the projects. This translates to over 100 people, as I have built around 50 websites on WordPress so far, with only about 10% opting for Shopify.
To utilize the scalability options of WordPress, you need a more advanced technical team and not servers in place. In general, WordPress is a scalable product. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Around 30 people in my company use the solution.
My company plans to use more of the solution in the future.

In the coming two to three decades, there is a growing sense of scalability, and this trend is expected to continue and even expand. However, as AI and automation become more prevalent, there is a possibility that new competitors may enter the market and redefine what is considered "the best." Nevertheless, over the next two to three decades, significant growth is anticipated. But for the present moment, it's essential to assess the current level of scalability.

WordPress offers impressive scalability, making it possible to begin with a basic website and continually expand its capabilities.
In the context of client projects, the scalability of WordPress becomes particularly evident. For instance, if I create an e-commerce website for a client, the user base can easily surpass 100 users, especially when the client is actively selling products and consistently adding new customers to their site. In my portfolio, I manage more than 30 clients, each with unique websites.
If the website is just to showcase products and services, then the user probably only has three or five working on that website as an administrator or editor where they write a blog. But when the website is an e-commerce solution, users will grow as much as possible because they are selling products. And as they are selling products, new users are always signing in as customers and buying their products. That number could grow, even from zero to 500, and even more.
Many clients use WordPress for managing microsites because of the ease of administration. WordPress is used for microsites because of the plugin ecosystem.
I rate the solution’s scalability a seven-point five out of ten.

You can scale as much as you want with WordPress. The only issue you can run into is plugins not being compatible.

No. WordPress, like the other popular CMSs, is also very extendable. However, I don't think it is ideal for large businesses.
