What is WordPress?
WordPress powers 43% of the web as a traditional monolithic CMS. While massively popular, its PHP architecture, plugin dependency, and security vulnerabilities make it increasingly outdated for modern web development. Content is coupled to presentation.
What is Sanity?
Sanity is a composable content cloud that treats content as structured data. With real-time collaboration, GROQ queries, and Portable Text, it represents the modern approach to content management — content as API, not pages.
Key Differences
Architecture
WordPress is monolithic — content and presentation are coupled. Sanity is headless — content is structured data accessed via API. This fundamental difference affects performance, flexibility, and multi-channel delivery.
Performance
WordPress serves PHP-rendered pages averaging 2.5-4s. Sanity APIs respond in ~50ms, and paired with a Next.js or Astro frontend, pages load in ~1.2s. This directly impacts SEO and user experience.
Editing Experience
WordPress has Gutenberg — familiar but limited. Sanity Studio offers real-time collaborative editing with customisable fields and previews. WordPress is easier for beginners; Sanity is more powerful for teams.
Content Model
WordPress uses posts, pages, and custom post types in MySQL. Sanity uses flexible document schemas defined in code with GROQ for querying. Sanity's approach is more powerful for complex content structures.
Security
WordPress is the most attacked CMS on the web — plugins account for 97% of known vulnerabilities. Sanity is fully managed with enterprise security, SOC 2 compliance, and no plugin attack surface.
Performance Comparison
| Metric | WordPress | Sanity |
|---|---|---|
| CDN | BYO | 100+ edge locations |
| Uptime SLA | Host-dependent | 99.9% |
| Page load time | ~2.5-4s (typical) | ~1.2s (with headless frontend) |
| API response time | ~200-500ms | ~50ms |

Frequently Asked Questions
WordPress 和 Sanity 之間有什麼區別？
WordPress 是一個傳統的單體式 CMS，內容和演示耦合在一起。Sanity 是一個現代可組合內容雲，其中內容是可透過 API 存取的結構化資料。WordPress 呈現頁面；Sanity 向任何前端提供內容。
Sanity 比 WordPress 更好嗎？
對於現代網絡開發，是的。Sanity 提供即時協作、結構化內容和 API 優先交付到任何前端。如果您需要龐大的外掛生態系統並希望非開發人員管理所有內容，WordPress 會更好。
Sanity 與 WordPress 相比成本是多少？
WordPress 核心是免費的，但需要主機（$5-100/月）、外掛（$100-500/年）和維護。Sanity 有一個免費層，包含 3 個用戶和 500K API 呼叫/月，超過該限制的定價基於使用情況。總成本通常具有可比性。
我能從 WordPress 遷移到 Sanity 嗎？
可以。Social Animal 專門從事 WordPress 到 Headless 的遷移。我們轉移內容，使用 Next.js 或 Astro 重建前端，並保留 SEO 排名。預約免費電話來規劃您的遷移。
WordPress 能用作 Headless CMS 嗎？
WordPress 有 REST API 和 WPGraphQL 外掛可用於 Headless 使用。但是，它不是為 Headless 而設計的——它的 API 是硬加上去的，性能落後於像 Sanity 這樣的專門構建的 Headless CMS 平台。
哪一個對 SEO 更好？
兩者都能實現出色的 SEO。WordPress 有 Yoast/Rank Math 外掛。Sanity 配合 Next.js 或 Astro 前端可實現更快的頁面載入和更好的 Core Web Vitals，這越來越多地影響排名。
