Oooooh that's really bad. Wordpress on Cpanel sites is like the Dark Matter of the internet, it's everywhere and you don't see it until something bad happens. Libations for the sysadmins patching & cleaning up this mess.

90% of those sites don't have anything resembling a sysadmin. If they've not already been hijacked by one of the Wordpress vulns or hijacked plugins years ago, they will be now. And absolutely nobody will spend any effort to fix them, so they will just end up chugging along until safebrowsing flags them and basically removes them from the internet.

At the rate we are going, we will all go back to publish HTML website like in Geocities times.

Conceptually, static sites are probably not too far off this.

Static sites are just superior and i feel like we are going to see a huge shift to SSGs once the average editors realize how much easier it is to have LLMs enter markdown maybe with a bit of html to create their blog posts/articles than to bother with a CMS.
