“Unlock the Future of Web Development: Discover the Hidden Powers of Headless WordPress!”
Some frontend applications will use server-side rendering (SSR), where the markup is generated via a node server (and cached). Many frameworks have “adapters” for this, such as Astro’s Cloudflare adapter, which abstracts the SSR logic away from you.
Some Headless sites are fully static, leveraging static site generation (SSG), where the WordPress backend is only used to generate the site’s HTML files. Once the site is built, the WordPress API is no longer needed until the next update (like when you publish a new blog post or edit an existing page) triggers a rebuild. That means every time you change your website or content, the site will have to be rebuilt (either entirely or partially via “partial SSG”).
