So I would love your opinion on the following:
Background: I have NO (zero) technical knowledge but run my own VPS (Litespeed/Cyberpanel). Websites are Wordrpress.
My hosting does not offer snapshots or backups and I have no faith in Cyberpanel regarding their backup feature.

Wordpress backups are supereasy with All-in-one

I currently have Sendy
- creating templates is aweful, time-intensive and then they're not responsive
- backing up Sendy seems more of a hassle than Wordpress


My question is:
Do you think a mailer plugin will slow the sites down?

Would you prefer Sendy or a plugin?

I use Sendy but I run it in isolation on a subdomain so it load balances better.

Also use a 3rd party service like sendinblue free account to create the templates, then import the html into sendy for better results

Thank you!!! I will check out sendinblue. So far importing html to sendy gave me unresponsive emails.
