WordPress as a headless CMS: the future of content
12 June 2024 · 6 min read
Headless CMS is an architecture in which the content management system (WordPress) is separated from the presentation layer (the website). Content is offered via an API to any frontend — a website, mobile app, or even an IoT device.
At WP Maintainer we install headless WordPress for clients who need maximum flexibility.
What is headless WordPress?
In a traditional WordPress setup, WordPress generates both the content and the HTML that the visitor sees. With headless WordPress: - WordPress only manages the content - The REST API serves the content - A separate frontend (React, Next.js, Vue) displays the content
