The most significant disadvantage to the use of WordPress will be its security. It's not that it's necessarily insecure but due to its popularity, it will see more hackers hacking and taking advantage of it.

Another issue with WordPress is that it is not suitable for large ecommerce kind of websites. It's not as adept at managing large inventory levels as like Magento. This is primarily because of the limitations in the way content is stored in WordPress. It's not that it's impossible to make an extensive Amazon similar store with WordPress it's possible , but it's extremely difficult to keep up.

The Disadvantages of WordPress

Open source: What could be the blessing is the curse itself i.e WordPress is famous because it is an open source and this is the same reason for its downfall. As it is widely used, it is always at the target of hackers

The Speed of the site: WordPress sites have lots of generic codes and plugins for incorporating functionality into the site hence, it could make the site respond slowly decreasing the loading time.

Excess of plugins: Plugins are there to enhance the functionality of the site but, they could work the other way round too. Using lots of plugins will drastically affect the performance of the site making it slower and decreasing the response time.

Frequent updates: Frequently updating your site might hamper its functionality. Updates make the sites more enhanced. After each update some functionality of the site doesn’t work for example plugins might stop working and you need to remove the old ones with new ones.

MySQL as Database backend: WordPress uses MySQL as a database backend which is less secure, hence, susceptible to cyber attacks and can easily be hacked.
Suboptimal for SEO: SEO makes your site stay at the top and make it visible for the users to access it. You don’t have to code or depend on developers or outsource it to external assistance just install the respective plugin and enhance the performance of your site.
