DeployHotel vs WordPress:
Beyond the "Plugin Trap"
"WordPress was born for blogs. The hotels of 2026 need a booking infrastructure, not just a simple template."
1. Speed & Conversion (Core Web Vitals)
The WordPress Problem
Hotel themes (like those on ThemeForest) are heavy. They require dozens of plugins (Elementor, Revolution Slider, Booking Engine) that slow down the site.Every extra second of loading costs the hotel 7% in conversions.
The DeployHotel Solution
Built on React.js. Instant loading, automatically optimized images, and clean code. Switching from WordPress to DeployHotel often means moving from a Google PageSpeed score of 40 to 95+.

2. Security & Maintenance (Zero "Plugin Fever")
The WordPress Problem
It's the #1 target for hackers. Outdated plugins are the main entry point. Hotel owners must pay monthly maintenance fees just to "keep the site online."
The DeployHotel Solution
Being a React/React.js application, there are no publicly exposed SQL databases like in WP. There are no plugins to update every week. Deployment is immutable and secure by definition.
3. Total Ownership vs. Platform Lock-in
Developer Experience
On WordPress, you are limited by the theme's functions or PHP. With DeployHotel, you have the complete source code. Want to add an integration with a specific CRM or an automation for check-ins? In React.js you do it in a few lines, without fighting WordPress legacy code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I migrate my domain from WordPress to DeployHotel?
Absolutely yes. You can keep your current domain and point the DNS to our React.js infrastructure. The switch guarantees an immediate boost in SEO ranking thanks to the better performance.
WordPress is free, why should I pay for DeployHotel code?
WordPress isn't really free: between high-performance hosting, premium booking plugins, and hours of developer maintenance, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) quickly exceeds that of DeployHotel, which is a one-time investment for a owned asset.
