Everything can be done poorly. The problem with wordpress is it allows a plethora of plugins and hooks that allow for lego-style webapp construction. This is not going to result in cohesive, performant experiences.

If you purpose build a server-side application to replace the functionality of any specific wordpress site in something like C#/Go/Rust, you will probably find that it performs substantially better in every way.

This is more of a testament to the value of custom software vs low/no-code software than it is to the deficits or benefits of any specific architectural ideology.

You'd find the exact same thing for a Python or Node site, too.
