How does SPIP compare to WordPress?
Excellent question! Let me give you a detailed comparison between SPIP (the French-born CMS) and WordPress (the global giant):
Core Philosophy & Origin
| Aspect | SPIP | WordPress |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | France (2001) | USA (2003) |
| Primary Language | French-first, multilingual | English-first, multilingual |
| Philosophy | « Système de Publication pour l’Internet Partagé » - collaborative publishing | « Democratize publishing » - user-friendly blogging |
| Market Share | ~0.2% (niche, mainly French) | ~43% of all websites |
| Community | French-centric, institutional | Global, massive |
Technical Comparison
Architecture
php
// SPIP: Unique « squelettes » (skeleton templates) system <BOUCLE_articles(ARTICLES){id_rubrique=5}>
#TITRE
<?php the_title(); ?>
Database Structure
- SPIP : Prefixed tables (
spip_articles,spip_rubriques), hierarchical « sections/rubriques » - WordPress : Standardized (
wp_posts,wp_terms,wp_users), flexible post types
Multilingual Support
- SPIP : Built-in, elegant (articles exist in multiple languages simultaneously)
- WordPress : Requires plugins (WPML, Polylang)
User Experience
Admin Interface
| SPIP | WordPress | |
|---|---|---|
| Backend | Clean, functional, French terminology | Polished, intuitive, global standard |
| Learning Curve | Steeper (French concepts) | Gentle for beginners |
| WYSIWYG Editor | Basic or via plugins | Gutenberg (block editor) - advanced |
| Media Library | Simple | Sophisticated with editing tools |
Content Organization
- SPIP : Rigid hierarchy (Sections → Subsections → Articles)
- WordPress : Flexible (Categories + Tags + Custom Taxonomies)
Development & Customization
Templating
html

Plugin/Themes Ecosystem
| SPIP | WordPress | |
|---|---|---|
| Plugins | ~800 (called « plugins » or « paquets ») | ~60,000+ |
| Themes | ~200 templates | ~10,000+ |
| Marketplace | Official SPIP-Zone | WordPress.org + commercial |
| Quality Control | Curated, French standards | Varies widely |
Performance & Security
Performance
- SPIP : Lightweight, faster out-of-box, less bloat
- WordPress : Can be heavy but optimized with caching (WP Rocket, W3TC)
Security
- SPIP : Fewer targets (security through obscurity), less frequently attacked
- WordPress : Constant attacks but rapid security updates, huge hardening ecosystem
Caching
- SPIP : Basic, relies on server-level caching
- WordPress : Advanced caching plugins available
Use Cases
SPIP Excels At:
- French government/institutional sites
- Academic/educational portals
- Multilingual publications with consistent structure
- Collaborative editorial workflows
WordPress Excels At:
- Blogs, news sites, magazines
- Business websites, portfolios
- E-commerce (with WooCommerce)
- Community sites, forums
- Any site needing frequent updates
Code Example: Creating Custom Content
php
// SPIP: Add custom field via plugin define(‹ _OBJECT ›, ‹ articles ›); define(‹ _CHAMP ›, ‹ custom_field ›); define(‹ _TYPE ›, ‹ text ›); include_spip(‹ base/objets ›); // WordPress: Add custom field (simple way) add_action(‹ add_meta_boxes ›, function() { add_meta_box(‹ custom_field ›, ‹ Custom Field ›, ‹ render_custom_field ›, ‹ post ›); });
Hosting Requirements
| Requirement | SPIP | WordPress |
|---|---|---|
| PHP | 5.6+ (7.4+ recommended) | 7.4+ |
| Database | MySQL 5.0+, PostgreSQL, SQLite | MySQL 5.6+ or MariaDB |
| Memory | 64MB+ | 128MB+ (256MB+ recommended) |
| HTTPS | Recommended | Required for many features |
Learning Resources
SPIP
- French documentation (official)
- Limited English resources
- Community forums (French)
WordPress
- Vast documentation in all languages
- Thousands of tutorials
- Global meetups, WordCamps
Migration Considerations
bash
SPIP → WordPress: Difficult # Requires custom migration scripts or plugins like « FG SPIP to WordPress » # WordPress → SPIP: Very rare, complex
My Recommendation
Choose SPIP if:
- Your team is French-speaking
- You need strict editorial workflows
- Working with French institutions
- Prefer lightweight, less bloated systems
Choose WordPress if:
- You need global support/plugins
- Have non-technical content editors
- Want maximum flexibility
- Need e-commerce or complex features
- Value having abundant developers/tutorials
For most users : WordPress is the pragmatic choice unless you’re in a French institutional context where SPIP is mandated or preferred.
Would you like me to dive deeper into any specific aspect, like templating comparison or security features?
