LOTS OF CHANGE ON THE WAY AND MY SITES WILL BECOME MOBILE FRIENDLY

I have alway been disappointed because my sites fail Google Vitals tests for mobile devices despite the fact it achieves close to 100% for desktop.

Since January 2022 I have devoted much time and effort to finding a solution and then in July 2022 I found two promising solutions but both require me to move from Rapidweaver as a development tool and away from traditional hosting services. I had already tested my own in-house servers so it suits me to host my websites but I have spent years using Rapidweaver so I will continue to use the application for a few more years but will gradually develop alternative solutions.

I was really surprised to discover two solutions. I have always liked Wordpress but over the years I have had serious security problems and a number of hosting services asked my to go elsewhere and eventually I ended up using WPengine for my Wordpress sites but monthly cost is very high and increasing.

The most promising solution that I have found is Headless Wordpress and I am in a position to self host if necessary. I will not discuss the second solution here as I do not know if there are security issues in the case of self hosting. However, both new solutions can be migrated to the cloud [AWS or Digital Ocean] instantly if I wish to do so and it is most likely that I will.
