The Technical Aspect

SEO Aspects And Organic Reach
If you are generating your traffic mostly through SEO I wouldn’t use a full Clickfunnels website.
Is your main source paid traffic through Google Ads, Facebook or social media then you can absolutely use Clickfunnels.
Page Speed
Page speed is considered to be a massive ranking factor in Google. When it comes to responsiveness Clickfunnels is amazing. You can configure a desktop as well as a mobile version of your site on the same domain.
But in terms of speed, you won’t have as many options to tweak them as you would have with a WordPress site.
With a traditional WordPress site, you can use several plugins to optimize your page speed, automatically minimize your pictures, CSS and Javascript.
Giving these possibilities you can really nerd out on your website to make it the fastest possible. Unfortunately, you can’t with Clickfunnels.
So when you are looking to build a content-rich website you can run into some trouble with page speed and loading times. Nevertheless, people made tons of money through their Clickfunnels websites even with this issue.
Search Engine Optimization And DNS Settings
Most SEO’s are using plugins to optimize their content in order to rank better in google. Those Plugins like Yoast SEO or my favorite RankMath will help you to find the weak spots in your content and improve it for more google love.
You won’t find those options in the Clickfunnels editor. At least you will find the basic settings for search engine optimization, but it’s far less than in WordPress in combinations with RankMath.
Furthermore, your content will be hosted by Clickfunnels. The problem with the name servers of Clickfunnels is, that it stores several different websites and funnels from all kinds of industries.
Some of them will be unfortunately sort of spammy “make money online” funnels that are not very google friendly. This can have a negative effect on your site when your website target is the same nameservers as in the make money online space…
Can Clickfunnels Replace Your Website?
Yes, of course, it can. The editor is super easy to use and you can learn it very quickly. Furthermore, you can connect your website to different payment providers and email software, if you are selling on your website or collecting leads. Nevertheless, be aware that the SEO options on Clickfunnel are very limited and you won’t have as many technical possibilities as on a traditional website.
Putting it short: Are you interested in optimizing your site and you are very tech-savvy, you’ll be good with WordPress.
If you’re not skilled in tech stuff and web design and you will be promoting your site through paid ads, Clickfunnels is perfect for you!
Finally, you can still use a traditional website to generate organic traffic AND connect it through a subdomain with a Clickfunnels account. By doing so you are able to have the best from both worlds and build funnels to lead your website visitors to your marketing goal which can be a sale or generating a lead.
