If this is “wild” to you then you are incredibly, incredibly green behind the ears. This is a very common reality. What you’re really saying is “I could do so much better than this”, which…good for you?

WordPress is fantastic for its WYSIWYG features, but it's probably one of the worst in terms of performance (especially w/o caching).
