Choosing WordPress hosting comes down to three things: Server-level caching (not plugin-based). PHP 8.2 or higher. Daily backups you can actually restore in one click. Everything else, support speed, staging environments, CDN, is a bonus. Get the fundamentals right first.

@cipriangb @cipriangb That is the best approach if you have the skills for it. A custom theme you know inside out will always outperform anything off the shelf. How do you handle updates when WordPress core introduces breaking changes?

Which matters more when choosing a WordPress theme? - Design quality - Page speed - Plugin compatibility - Support and updates
