When should you use headless WordPress?

When does it make sense to use WordPress only for content and build the front end separately? Pros, cons and our approach.

Hakkı

In a headless setup WordPress only manages content; the site is built as a separate front end. This very site works that way.

Pros

  • Very fast, static pages
  • A smaller attack surface
  • Complete design freedom

Things to watch out for

Previews and plugin compatibility take extra effort. For multi-author sites with constantly changing content, classic WordPress can still be more practical.
