You also get to defend the Wordpress site against hackers. Regular updates being managed for core. Plug-ins and Themes that introduce security holes. Extra server load when baddies target your sites api.

Static sites have been my goto for years. Especially after Netlify launched and a free tier became available.

Now cloudflare pages offers free hosting with basically unlimited hosting for personal sites.

I couldn’t go back to wasting time managing a personal site with Wordpress.

WordPress has automatic updating of plugins now. It's almost completely solved the problem.
