WordPress is one of the world’s most widely used content management systems (CMS), powering blogs, websites, and increasingly web apps. It offers a flexible architecture of themes and plugins, where users can extend functionality or customize layout without touching core code. The administrative dashboard includes post and page editors, media library, user roles, plugin/theme installation, and site settings. Through its REST API and headless mode, WordPress also serves as a backend for decoupled front ends using frameworks like React, Vue, or Gatsby. Its maturity means a vast ecosystem of third-party integrations—SEO tools, forms, e-commerce, analytics—are available and battle-tested. Internally, WordPress handles routing, query parsing, template resolution, caching, and security hardening so developers can focus on content and user experience rather than infrastructure plumbing.
