The PHP content management system behind a large share of the web: drafts, roles, revisions, a media library, and the block editor, extended by thousands of plugins and themes.

Reach for it when:
- Sites where non-developers publish daily
- Marketing, editorial, and membership sites

Worth knowing: Self-hosting means owning updates and security; managed hosts take that on.
