WordPress 2025: What Really Matters to Your Business

WordPress remains the most used CMS in the world.

In 2025, it's not just about maintaining a website, but about how this platform helps companies gain security, efficiency and adaptability in an increasingly demanding digital environment.

If you're evaluating WordPress as a CMS for your company, here's a summary of what you need to consider when deciding wisely.

More security for your website

Digital security is at the center of any company's agenda.

WordPress has ended support for older versions (4.1—4.6). This means that those sites will no longer receive security patches or critical updates.

The consequence is clear: keeping the website updated is no longer a recommendation, it's a requirement. An outdated website becomes an open door to vulnerabilities, with a direct impact on the trust of customers, partners and search engines.

Stability in managing updates

One of the historic risks in WordPress is plugin updates that, when applied suddenly, can cause unexpected crashes on the web.
To reduce this risk, we introduce the progressive updates, which allow you to deploy the changes gradually.

The impact for companies is obvious:

• Fewer interruptions to critical services.
• Fewer technical emergencies.
• Greater reliability on websites that function as a sales channel or lead capture.

More autonomy for marketing teams

Another recent breakthrough is in the block editor and design options. It is now possible to have more precise control of fonts, colors and styles, in addition to incorporating personalized social icons.

For companies, this means greater independence for technical teams. The marketing or communication area can manage the image of the web consistently and quickly, without depending on developers for minor adjustments.

Road to WordPress 6.9

Version 6.9, scheduled for December 2025, will focus on two pillars: performance and editing experience.
This translates into:

• Faster websites with better SEO positioning.
• More agile and easier content management for internal teams.

In an environment where the user experience determines both conversion and visibility in search engines, these improvements are a business factor, not a technical detail.

The arrival of artificial intelligence to WordPress

Perhaps the most important announcement of 2025 was the creation of the official team of WordPress artificial intelligence. Its mission: to build the infrastructure that will allow AI to be integrated directly into the CMS.

In practice, this will open the door to features such as:

• Automation of routine tasks.
• Assisted content creation.
• Advanced customization of the user experience.

AI will not be an “extra”, but an engine of digital efficiency and competitiveness for companies that use WordPress.

Strategic recommendations for your company

What's new in WordPress in 2025 reinforce its role as Reference CMS, but the decision to use it must always be made from the company's digital strategy.

Here are some key guidelines:

1. Evaluate the role of the web in your business
   • If your website is a lead capture channel or a corporate showcase, WordPress provides the agility and autonomy you need.
   • If your website is a highly transactional environment or requires critical integrations (ERP, PIM, complex CRM), you may need to consider more specific options or a hybrid (headless) model.
2. Prioritize security and updates
   • Keeping WordPress and its plugins up to date has always been essential. In 2025, the difference is that neglecting it poses an immediate risk to security and trust on your website.
3. Put marketing and communication at the center
   • The editor's new features allow non-technical teams to manage more aspects of the web. Taking advantage of that autonomy translates into faster campaigns and reduced development costs.
4. Prepare your organization for AI
   • The arrival of artificial intelligence to WordPress will be progressive, but inevitable. Anticipate thinking about what processes you could automate (content creation, personalization of experiences, reporting).
5. Measure total cost of ownership (TCO)
   • WordPress may seem economic at the outset, but the real value lies in how it is managed: hosting, maintenance, updates and security must be considered within the overall budget.

More than a CMS

In 2025, WordPress offers companies much more than a CMS: it provides security, stability, autonomy for non-technical teams and a clear path to artificial intelligence.

In a digital scenario where the web is increasingly strategic, these improvements reinforce its value as business asset.

WordPress doesn't just guarantee that your website works; it makes it a tool capable of promote growth, competitiveness and adaptation to change.
