Any current advice on CMS and anything else required for image-based websites? TGPs, Pinboards, anything similar. I don't need traffic trading or community/user functionality on the site. I've seen many posts from people saying WordPress should handle a small image-based website without any external scripts. That's true, and I currently have that, but it's not "smart" and so the website remains very small indeed.

The problem is that my site isn't CTR testing different thumbs for each post, and the related images aren't based on history or a prediction of what would have higher CTR if displayed on the current post, and the same underperforming thumbs continue to show up in all areas of the site.

Is it a theme or a plugin, or more likely both, that would handle this in WordPress?

I could be getting many more clicks and time on site if the users were seeing an optimized set of thumbs that they actually wanted to click on, so this is really holding me back from growing much at all. I'm not trying to change the game with image galleries and text, and I'm realistic about that, but I just know this website could be much more competitive almost instantly if it had this functionality.

Must I buy my website a soul, so that it can see, and learn, and strive to make better decisions in the future?
