Is WordPress Modern?

Yes it’s secure but I warn anyone who uses Wordpress be careful with to many plugins and to advance themes can lower security if your not update with releases.

It's the best practice to use as few plugins as possible. I keep mine under 8 plugins. I'm really picky about what I add.

There is not only a security concern but a general bloat concern that will slow your blog down.

Too many add ons will do that with any software. It creates more queries per page and slows down your overall performance. If the plugins aren’t necessary enhancing the blog, they shouldn’t be used.

OPcache, like @Tracy discussed in another topic, can help boost your PHP/MySQL performance and cache queries. It will definitely help a wordpress blog as well if speed and performance is important for you.

I used WP Rocket. It's a paid plugin but it did a lot of things all the other ones didn't do.

It’s a paid plugin, however it does offer a lot of things that others don’t all bundle together. However, most of the features it offers, like GZIP compression, page and browser caching, file optimization, CDN integration (Cloudflare or another), lazy loading can actually be done at the server level or through manual tweaks. It just depends if you want to handle that stuff yourself or have it all in one dashboard.
