How to Build a Website Like Math Playground Using WordPress?

[algebra]

I'm looking to create an educational games website similar to MathPlayground using WordPress. I'd love to get some guidance on the best practices, themes, and plugins that could help me replicate its features, like game categories, interactive elements, and user-friendly navigation. Any advice or suggestions from those who've built similar sites would be greatly appreciated!

You can build a MathPlayground-style site with WordPress by focusing on structure and performance.

• Use a lightweight theme like Astra or GeneratePress
• Create custom post types + categories for game organization
• Embed HTML5/JavaScript games (WordPress manages content, not game logic)
• Use plugins like ACF, Custom Post Type UI, and WP Rocket for speed
• Keep navigation simple with filters and search

WordPress works best as the CMS, while games should be externally built or embedded for smooth performance.
