Is WordPress considered the best and the fastest content management system?
I don’t think it is. I use WordPress for blogging, but UltimateWB for websites. With WordPress you would have to install a bunch of plugins - which can cause very slow page load speeds, increase security risk, and may break your website functionalities when you have to upgrade - to get the same kind of features as with UltimateWB. Especially for more advanced and interactive websites.

Discovering that your WordPress e-commerce site has been hacked is an immediate emergency. Unlike a standard blog, a compromised online store threatens your revenue, your search engine rankings, and your customers' sensitive payment data.
If you have a clean, recent backup of your files and your database from before the breach occurred, your fastest option is to wipe the server and restore from that backup.
