Built on PHP and MySQL: The core is developed in PHP, and it stores data (like posts, users, settings) in a MySQL database.
Themes: Control the design and layout of your site.
Plugins: Add extra functionality like contact forms, SEO tools, eCommerce (like WooCommerce), security, and more.
SEO-friendly: Easily optimize for search engines.
