Which is better suited for AdSense: WordPress or other programs?

Choosing a program to implement AdSense... that's quite interesting.

WordPress users always claim their application is best suited for AdSense, citing a multitude of reasons: more plugins, better SEO, it's Google's favorite... It sounds reasonable, but something just doesn't feel right to me.

Just like when you go on a blind date, the matchmaker always says the girl is "good at cooking, filial, and has savings," but never mentions her temperament. WordPress is the same; everyone praises its good points, but few people talk about its flaws.

The programs we chased back then

To be honest, when it comes to AdSense, the program is just a tool... no, it's more like a carrier. It's like what car you drive to a blind date; the important thing is the person, not the car. But many people seem to value the car more than the person.

WordPress definitely has its advantages. Its plugin ecosystem is outrageously comprehensive, with plugins like Yoast SEO, WP Rocket, and AdSense... you name it. Whatever feature you want, you can basically find a plugin to solve it. It's like living in the city center—everything is convenient, but... the rent is expensive.

Not only is the server under heavy load, but the loading speed is also slow. You say Google values ​​user experience the most, yet your WordPress site takes forever to load—isn't that a contradiction?

The comeback of static programs

In recent years, static application websites like Hugo, Hexo, and Jekyll have begun to rise in popularity. Their logic is simple: since AdSense mainly focuses on content and traffic, they will make their websites incredibly fast and provide an exceptional user experience.

Think about it, if the same content opens in 3 seconds and it opens in 30 seconds, which one would Google prefer?

These statically generated websites load so fast it's unbelievable. With a CDN deployed, access from all over the world is lightning fast. While WordPress users are still struggling with caching plugin configurations, these sites have already perfected the user experience.

However... there are also problems. The technical barrier is high; those without coding skills are basically out of the question. Updating content is also cumbersome, unlike WordPress which offers visual editing and one-click publishing.

Typecho: The Overlooked Dark Horse

Speaking of which, I'd like to mention a seriously underrated player: Typecho.

This program is so simple that you might mistake it for a crippled version of WordPress. But precisely because of its simplicity, it's fast, resource-efficient, and secure. It has all the essential functions needed for AdSense, without any unnecessary frills.

Like a friend who doesn't talk much but is extremely reliable, they're always there when you need them, and they'll never cause trouble when you don't.

Furthermore, Typecho's SEO capabilities are severely underestimated. Without the complex database queries of WordPress, search engine crawlers access it exceptionally smoothly. Sometimes, simplicity is the best SEO.

So which one should I choose?

This question is like asking, "Should I choose a beautiful wife or a virtuous one?" The standard answer is: both. But the reality is... you have to decide based on your own circumstances.

For those with strong technical skills, static applications are the preferred choice. They are fast, provide a good user experience, and AdSense revenue won't be reduced due to technical issues.

For those looking for a hassle-free experience, WordPress remains a good choice. Its plugin ecosystem is excellent, and there are plenty of online tutorials for any problems. The only drawback is the higher server costs and the need for occasional performance optimization.

For those seeking a balanced experience, consider Typecho. It has a low learning curve, good performance, and importantly... fewer users, less competition.

The very last

Actually, program selection only accounts for 20% of AdSense success; content quality and traffic are the key factors.

Just like some people drive Mercedes but still can't find a partner, while others ride bicycles and marry their dream girl. Tools are important, but the people who use those tools are even more important.
