The codes of WP are written considering the security issue. However, like the offline world, the online world is unpredictable too. So, if anyone wants to make the security stronger, he may use some free/premium Plugins.
7. Various types of multimedia file formats are supported
Not only TEXT! It gives you the built-in support to add various types of image, video, audio, PDF, Docs and so on.
Another strong side of WP is that it supports the Embed feature. That’s mean, you just have to copy the URL of YoutTube videos, Instagram photos, Twitter tweets and other platforms’ contents and paste it to your WP website to Embed that to your website. No more hassles.
8. Unlimited users and different user-role
There are several roles in WP like Administrator, Editor, Subscriber, Author, Contributor etc.
Every user-role has its own capability and you can add unlimited users for every role. When you install Plugins like customer, instructor, student, moderator etc. the associated roles will be created automatically.

There was a time when people used to use internet only with computers. But the number of mobile internet users is just increasing day by day. So, while making a website, you must consider your website’s mobile friendliness. And WordPress again makes it easy for you. WordPress website can be browsed from any device very comfortably.

More than 70 million websites are made using WordPress. For having such a huge user-community, millions of resources are available to get help with WordPress. Just Google any problem regarding WordPress, you get the solution!
11. Easy to install & manage website with WordPress
To my opinion, this is probably the biggest reason of such popularity of WP. You don’t have to be a web developer. You don’t have to write codes in HTML, CSS, PHP or JAVA either (its good to have some basic coding knowledge though).
Besides that:
· You can make any kinds of website. You can scale up your website from basic to super complex as you want.
· It supports multiple languages. So, you can make your website almost in every language.
· You can transfer your whole website to any hosting server.
