The Future of WordPress Headless WordPress hosting
Headless WordPress hosting requires separate hosting for the backend and frontend. The backend server must support WordPress and PHP, and the frontend server must support the technology used.
API-Centric Architecture
Headless WordPress relies heavily on its REST API (or newer alternatives like GraphQL) to expose content and data to external applications or front-end frameworks.
Flexibility in Front-End Technologies
Allows for the use of various front-end frameworks like React, Vue.js, Angular, or even static site generators like Gatsby or Next.js to build the user interface.
Improved Performance
By decoupling the front-end from the back end, you can optimize performance for both the CMS and the front-end application, resulting in faster loading times.
Enhanced Security
Since the front-end and back-end are separate, any vulnerabilities in the front-end code don't directly affect the WordPress backend, providing an extra layer of security.
Reduced Server Load
Since the server only serves API requests, it can handle more traffic with less strain compared to a traditional WordPress setup.
