A transparent breakdown comparing custom edge-rendered Next.js platforms against traditional template-based WordPress agency installs.

The Head-to-Head Comparison

See why businesses are upgrading from WordPress.

Page Load Speed & TTFB

Arrow Bespoke Next.js Platform

Sub-0.5s instantaneous loading via Edge SSR and pre-compiled static assets. 100/100 Google Lighthouse Core Web Vitals.

Traditional WordPress Agency Setup

3.5s to 7.0s loading. Bogged down by 25+ plugins, PHP execution bottlenecks, and heavy MySQL database queries.

Security & Vulnerabilities

Arrow Bespoke Next.js Platform

Zero runtime database exposure and zero plugin attack surface. Hosted on immutable global edge CDNs.

Traditional WordPress Agency Setup

90%+ of web exploits target outdated WordPress plugins, themes, and WP-Admin brute force vulnerabilities.

Mobile User Experience

Arrow Bespoke Next.js Platform

100% bespoke responsive UI engineered in clean Tailwind CSS. Zero clunky visual page builder bloat (Elementor / Divi).

Traditional WordPress Agency Setup

Heavily nested, messy DOM trees that stutter and cause high layout shift (CLS) on smartphones.

Recurring Maintenance Costs

Arrow Bespoke Next.js Platform

Zero mandatory plugin licence subscriptions, theme renewal fees, or security plugin add-ons. 100% owned code.

Traditional WordPress Agency Setup

£100s every month in recurring plugin licenses (WooCommerce add-ons, backup tools, caching plugins).

Scalability Under Traffic Spikes

Arrow Bespoke Next.js Platform

Automatically scales to thousands of concurrent visitors without server crashes using serverless edge infrastructure.

Traditional WordPress Agency Setup

Crashes or slows to a crawl under sudden marketing traffic spikes unless paying for expensive dedicated VPS hosting.
