WordPress in 2025: The revolution enterprises cannot ignore

2025 will mark a turning point in the evolution of WordPress. Despite being considered by some as a traditional CMS compared to emerging private content management platforms, WordPress continues to dominate the market, and this year will be key to its consolidation in the enterprise sector.

The report “WordPress in 2025”, authored by Noel Tock and published on the official WordPress site, analyzes how changes in the CMS industry, the evolution of the block editor, the emergence of artificial intelligence, and the reconfiguration of the headless market are positioning WordPress as the most strategic option for businesses.

Key insights from the report

Open source prevails Over private solutions

The rise of private platforms and headless CMSs was largely driven by heavy marketing budgets and the hype surrounding new technologies. However, over time, many of these platforms have stagnated in development, while WordPress has continued to innovate sustainably. Companies are shifting their budgets towards more cost-effective and scalable solutions, moving away from expensive licenses and opting for open-source CMSs like WordPress and Drupal. This paradigm shift presents a new opportunity for WordPress to expand its presence in the enterprise market.

The most advanced No-Code editor on the market

The WordPress block editor has received massive investment, accumulating over 34,000 commits in its development. This progress has enabled the creation of Full Site Editing (FSE), a tool that allows marketing and content teams to design and customize every aspect of their website without requiring developers.

• Build websites without the need for developers
• Quickly customize and edit content
• Gain greater control without relying on external agencies

AI and the new era of WordPress

While WordPress originally gained traction by making online publishing more accessible, in 2025, artificial intelligence will play a crucial role in its next revolution. While other platforms have integrated AI as simple add-ons, WordPress is developing an ecosystem based on intelligent agents and language models (LLM-agnostic), allowing enterprises to customize workflows without being locked into proprietary solutions.

The end of pure Headless: WordPress as a hybrid CMS

The 100% headless approach has proven to be impractical and costly for many companies. In fact, many headless platforms are now backtracking, adding no-code features that WordPress has already offered natively for years. WordPress has demonstrated that a hybrid approach is the best option, combining API-driven content delivery with the ease of use of a visual editor. This model is becoming the most efficient solution for large enterprises seeking a balance between flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of implementation.

How your business can leverage WordPress in 2025

• Adopt Full-Site Editing (FSE) to reduce costs and increase flexibility
• Integrate AI and automation into content workflows
• Evaluate migrating from private platforms to optimize budgets
• Leverage WordPress’ hybrid capabilities to build personalized experiences without sacrificing efficiency
