The real cost
94% of all CMS security breaches happen on WordPress sites. Every plugin is an attack vector. Every outdated theme is a vulnerability. Velox ships static Next.js — no PHP, no database, no admin login to brute-force.
WordPress requires weekly plugin updates, PHP version compatibility checks, and occasional conflicts that break your site. That's time you're spending on maintenance instead of your business. Velox has nothing to maintain.
Unoptimized WordPress sites with contact form plugins, sliders, and page builders routinely score under 60. Core Web Vitals failures hurt search ranking directly. Velox guarantees 85+ — or we fix it for free.
WordPress.org is free, but you'll pay: managed hosting (USD 25–100/mo), premium theme (USD 60–200), essential plugins (USD 200–500/yr), security plugin (USD 99/yr), backup plugin, CDN. You're at USD 600–1,500/yr before writing a word of content.
