In general, it’s not an alternative so much as actually measuring performance and making sure you don’t exceed your targets for each type of visitor. For almost everything you can find fast and slow examples based on how people configured it.

yes sure, I get that. But: I am looking for an alternative, that you can't "mess around" with, the one, that can't be configured to death. I guess "medium" is an obvious choice if you are looking for a log only, but I have no idea how fast their site really is

If it can’t be configured, people won’t use it. The kind of stuff most sites suffer from is as simple as being able to not have it look like everyone else: once you do that the odds approach certainty that someone’s design will load 8mb of ads, fonts, etc.

Well that depends on the use case, right? People do use Medium for blogging, you don’t need WP to setup a blog these days
