So much emphasis on minifying HTML...I mean come on you tryin' to save 400 bytes of data with a (6) unoptimized 5Mb JPEG sliders and (12) javascript includes?
@FlaBasquete86@lilyraynyc def part of it! algorithmically google shifting towards pruning info sites / redundant info / outdated esp on ymyl type sites
@elvissun@chillseoguy I see what you are saying Elvis (I like your products btw) but even in 2026 so many clients even CTOs are still behind web 2.0 trends let alone AI.
@DavidGQuaid this is all I was saying - ranking for {state}SEO brings unqualified leads and door knockers, that it was a waste of my time. not a personal attack. have a good weekene man 🤜

@RyanJones@enovinson I forget who I was talking to about this (I think op/Nick) but about 10 years ago I spent a lot of effort ranking for "florida SEO" and owned 2 positions on top of page 1 for it. lots of traffic, hardly any clients. mostly other SEO's doing the same I did.
@DavidGQuaid@RyanJones I'd rather put my efforts into getting my clients performing than my agencies performing, referrals are way > SEO leads for an SEO company

short answer: case by case but yes still mostly WordPress, Astro/static, shopify for ecom
it really depends if the customer wants "a backend" (page builder) or not and if they want to be able to "see" things like Form fills etc for small biz, we keep them on WP
I personally love astro or plain HTML for a small biz that wants no involvement, never wants to make an edit we do astro or plain html.
for ecom we stick to shopify or woo depending on customers needs, customers are familiar with that backend so I think that is notable.
I scraped a decade old Wix site and put it on Astro a few months ago and wouldn't you know, their phone started ringing
