 Disadvantages of CMS
1.Hacking And Security Threat

Nearly all popular CMS platforms are on professional hackers’ hit list.
WordPress alone powers 60% of the websites.
A hacker does not need a better reason to mine data
and make a quick buck. Furthermore, cybercriminals intend to hack and destroy website businesses
operating on CMS. These activities can prove to be catastrophic if your business relies on online leads, sales,
and revenue. Once hacked, the SEO ranking drops down and negatively affects customer trust.
2.Slow loading
Visitors usually have a shorter attention span. If a website doesn’t load
fast enough, users will bounce onto the next website. Also, Google prefers
fast-loading sites with constant updates. CMS is data-driven, as the
website becomes bulky, the loading time also increases which is not
preferable.

3.Constant updates

CMS platforms are prone to hackers. To stay on top and provide secure services,
they constantly update their services and these updates are released to patch
faults of previous versions. Most of the time, the software update will be smooth
and will integrate with the existing theme and plugins. However, there are
situations where the currently used themes and plugins do not recognize the
update and behave differently. When this happens, it affects the functionality of
the website and reflects negatively on the business. If the issue is not resolved on
time, it will tamper with the business workings and ultimately incur losses.
4.Constant updates
CMS comes with financial hidden costs as well. It might be in the
form of paid plugins, themes, premium updates, and many more.
Superficially, it looks well and good to have a highly affordable
website. But if you are planning on expanding your customer
base and adding functionalities to a base website, it comes at a
hefty price.

5.Limited individuality
There are so many themes and templates offered by the CMS
platforms. These are either free or paid. Most of the time the one
that resonates with your business would be paid. Regardless of the
cost, even the best of themes will not be a perfect fit and it will
need modification to satisfy your business needs. After all the hard
work, you realize the same theme can be found on multiple
websites. Therefore, it leads to a loss of individuality which can be
frustrating.
6.Requires training
Not every theme developed will use the same combination of
programming languages. To edit a theme and incorporate changes,
will require expertise. If you are a budding business and decide to
hire a person to take care of the website needs, training will be
required. Training will include everything from the understanding
of the interface to adopting the coding style.

7.Overdependence on plugins
CMS is great because you can find a plugin, for any
functionality in mind. On the flip side, too many plugins
slow down the website making it undesirable for visitors.
Additionally, not all plugins are reputable. Thus, you need to
make sure it has good reviews and higher ratings. Another
point to be noted is that not all plugins are followed through
by the developers. If your plugin is outdated, it will be
vulnerable to hackers jeopardizing the integrity of the
8.Custom applications
It is not always possible for a plugin to provide a solution to your
functionality requirement. Situations may arise where building a
custom application is the only solution available that can solve your
needs. In such cases, CMS does not offer the flexibility to do so. This
will leave you with no choice but to build a customized website from
scratch.

9.Custom integrations
Similar to custom applications, custom integrations cannot be
integrated into a CMS website. These custom integrations are
software applications developed by a third-party vendor. Opting
for custom integrations is a great way to cut down the time taken
to build a website.
10.Multilingual support does not exist
Many CMS platforms do not support multilingual websites and
pages. You would need to hire a dedicated developer to resolve
this hurdle. You need to ensure that multilingual service is
provided before you decide on a platform.

11.Support and guidance

The most popular CMS platforms are open-source, which are good for
rapid development and enhanced functionality. But it is not so good for
support, as it is not possible to hold anyone accountable for glitches and
irregular behavior in open-source software. There will be community
forms in CMS that will help resolve your issues but it is a very slow
process and it is not 100% reliable.
