Headless WordPress gives clients the dashboard they know while developers build with modern tools.

Why This Approach Wins

The WordPress REST API has been built in since version 4.7. No plugins needed.

How It Works

  1. Client manages content in the WordPress dashboard
  2. Astro.js fetches all content at build time via REST API
  3. Static HTML files generated and deployed to Cloudflare Pages
  4. Visitors get sub-100ms load times from CDN
