Creating a simple webpage using pure HTML can result in many lines of code. Especially if you’re coding for complex structures. This can lead to code repetition, maintenance challenges, and increased load times for web pages.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can be an alternative to streamlined code by separating the presentation from the structure. Additionally, website developers and content management systems (CMS) like WordPress simplify web development and require less manual coding.

HTML alone does not provide strong security features. It can’t protect against various web weaknesses, like cross-site scripting (XSS) or SQL injection. These security weaknesses can lead to data hacking. Additional measures have to be taken, such as server-side scripting, to protect websites.

Server-side scripting languages like PHP, Python, or Ruby offer better security features. These languages enable developers to control data processing and apply security measures effectively.

Creating and maintaining the structure of HTML documents is complex, mainly for large-scale projects. As webpages grow in complexity, managing nested HTML elements is challenging. This complexity may lead to errors.

Some web developers opt for more structured approaches using template engines like Handlebars or libraries like JSX (for React). These tools offer a cleaner way to organize HTML-like code within JavaScript.

HTML is a static language. It defines the structure and presentation of web content but cannot produce dynamic interactions by itself. As a result, creating interactive web applications, like online games or real-time chat systems, can be challenging with HTML alone. For dynamic functionalities, Web developers often turn to JavaScript, a scripting language that complements HTML’s static nature. 

Developers often use JavaScript frameworks to develop dynamic web applications,
