WordPress powers 43% of the web. That's not just a market share statistic — it's a target painted on every WordPress site. Attackers don't need to find a zero-day in your specific site. They find one vulnerability in a popular plugin and suddenly have access to millions of sites running that same plugin.
Static sites are unhackable (almost)
When your site is pre-rendered HTML served from a CDN, there's no PHP to exploit, no database to inject into, no admin panel to brute-force. The attack surface shrinks from 'everything' to 'almost nothing.' Your content lives in a secure CMS with proper authentication, not in a publicly accessible wp-admin that bots hammer 24/7.
