Tiger CMS · the modern WordPress alternative

Everything WordPress® does.
None of the plugin roulette.

Tiger runs your sites — pages, blog, users, media, menus, and translation — from one fast, secure install. No caching plugins to make it quick. No security plugins to keep it safe. No update that white-screens everything on a Tuesday.

Flip light/dark or the skin in the header — this page restyles live, no reload.

Sound familiar?

If you run WordPress, you live this every week. You don't have to.

Slow, even with caching

You've stacked three caching plugins and it's still 600ms to first byte. On WordPress, speed is a plugin you rent — never something the platform just gives you.

A new CVE every week

Security is a pile of plugins — a firewall, a login limiter, a malware scanner — each one more surface to patch. The one you forget to update is the breach.

Update roulette

One plugin update collides with another and the whole site white-screens. You update on a Friday afternoon and quietly pray.

Paying twice for the same thing

The same premium plugins, licensed again on every site you run. The bill grows with every client — for features that should just be there.

Licensing drama

GPL forced onto everything you build, ownership fights playing out in the headlines, and a market where your $99 plugin is $5 the next morning.

60,000 plugins, none vouched for

Every feature is a third-party gamble — on quality, on whether it gets abandoned, on whether it survives the next core update.

Head to head

WordPress vs. Tiger

Same job — running your website — done two very different ways. One rents you every capability as a plugin; the other ships them in the box.

WordPress Tiger
Page speed 200–800 ms — with a caching plugin doing the heavy lifting ~10 ms, straight from the platform — no cache plugin required
Security A stack of plugins: firewall, login limiter, malware scanner Auth, roles, brute-force lockout, 2FA, and an audit log in the core
Updates A plugin update can white-screen the entire site Your content is isolated from framework updates — nothing to break
Running many sites One install per site (or a fragile multisite) Multi-tenant by default — many sites, one install, separate branding
Users & roles Another plugin to add memberships and permissions Roles and permissions built in, per site, enforced everywhere
Languages A translation plugin (WPML, Polylang) bolted on Built-in translation, edited live, with no deploy
Plugin cost Per site, every year, forever Included — marketplace modules are licensed on the creator's terms
Your code's license GPL — forced onto your themes and plugins Your license. Proprietary if you want — your code stays yours
Add-on quality 60,000 plugins of wildly varying quality A curated, reviewed marketplace with real licensing
Hosting Needs capable hosting + a caching layer to feel fast Flies on a $5 shared / cPanel host

~10 ms measured (single warm request, 2‑vCPU box, PHP 8 + OPcache). WordPress figures reflect typical uncached page generation and the common plugin stack — not a controlled benchmark; results vary by workload, hosting, and configuration.

What you get, in plain terms

The capabilities you bolt onto WordPress with plugins — already here, already working.

Run every site from one install

Multi-tenant from the ground up — each site its own branding, content, and users. One place to sign in, one place to update.

User roles, no plugin

Admins, editors, viewers — real permissions built in, per site, enforced everywhere. Not a bolt-on you hope was configured right.

Install and start

No build tools, no setup marathon — one-click and cPanel-friendly. Then you're writing pages, not wiring plugins together.

Speak your customers' language

Translation is built in. Add a language, edit any string live, reach a new market — no plugin, no deploy, no export.

Fast without trying

~10 ms pages on cheap hosting, no caching plugin in sight. Speed is the default here, not an upgrade you go install.

A marketplace that respects everyone

Curated, reviewed modules with real licensing — creators keep their rights, you get quality you can trust.

Your content stays yours

Pages, posts, and media are portable data you own — change the look without breaking the site. No theme lock-in.

Secure out of the box

Password policy, brute-force lockout, database sessions, 2FA, and an audit log — the security stack, included, not assembled.

On the roadmap

Bring your content. Leave the mess behind.

Your posts, pages, media, and menus are yours — and a WordPress migration tool is on the way to bring them across cleanly. You won't be cloning the plugin sprawl; you'll be rescuing the content that matters and rebuilding it on a platform that's faster, safer, and actually yours.

Nobody switching from Android to iPhone expects the same screens. They expect their photos, contacts, and messages to come along — and the new phone to be better. Same idea.

What comes across

  • Pages & posts — as portable content you own
  • Media library — your images and files
  • Menus & navigation structure
  • Users & authors

Get started — two ways

On shared hosting, like most WordPress sites? Use the one-file installer — no shell, no Composer. On a dev box or VPS with a terminal? One command.

cPanel & shared hosting

Beta

The WordPress way — no shell, no Composer. One file installs everything and puts your database password above the web root, where the old wp-config.php never was.

  1. Download the installer and unzip tiger-install.php.
  2. Upload it to your site's public_html (File Manager or FTP).
  3. Open https://yourdomain.com/tiger-install.php and follow the steps.
Download the installer or read the source

Developers & vibe coders

Have a terminal? One Composer command scaffolds a running, themed, multi-tenant app — front-end agnostic, zero build step.
