One of the biggest differences between Joomla and Wordpress is their original purposes. Joomla Started as a CMS for portal sites which has many separate section. Wordpress used to be a simple blogging platform. So, in those early days, Wordpress used just for personal blogs while Joomla was the favorite tool for creating corporate and professional websites. Joomla is a very solid CMS and its developers have taken time to make sure to keep it that way. But that's one of the reasons why Wordpress become more popular and easy to use. I don't know how it's now but Installing Joomla was not easy as Wordpress in those early days. Also, the development was slow and there weren't lots of free plugins like Wordpress.

I don't know how it's today but security-wise Jooml was better. Joomla even has SSL and 2FA built-in to the Core. Because of all those Plugins and Themes, Wordpress security is quite complicated. When you compare these 2 CMS, Joomla is very flexible without even use for any plugins (In Joomla these are called Extensions). But I think Wordpress has become the far more superior CMS with rapid development and all those Plugins, Themes, and Page Builders.

speaking of security . sometime the wordpress plugin can have a vulnerability . most of the time it is sql injection . wordpress itself doesnt gave the sql injection exploit but with the poorly written plugin it can . my empty wordpress site with some plugin built in for the template used to hacked for no reason . but the good thing is that there is also a SECURITY wordpress plugin

and yeah wordpress have rapid development because more developer are in . it is one of the biggest open source project and one that doesnt feel open source but it is open source . making the normies like it
