If you're using CPanel to develop a website, using Bootstrap is least of your concerns. Most likely, your on a slow host with tons of resources and network speed issues.

jQuery is going away in Bootstrap 5, most CDN already have bootstrap cached for quick download.

If you enjoy fixing CSS compatibility bugs in multiple browsers than by all means roll your own CSS.

Getting new developers to learn "your css" is a waste of time, when most devs already know Bootstrap. So your team productivity will continue to suffer. If they extend your home-grown CSS, the code will just become a horrible mess.

Unless you're a lone ranger dev, using Bootstrap is not a big deal. In fact not using it, is unwise.
