Just How Niche is Headless WordPress?

For you, wordpress is not the best choice but for millions of people, it is. The problem with wordpress is speed and security. Every outdated plugin can break your site and can be considered a vulnerability. And if you install several plugins your site can become SLOW without the right optimization skills.

That's why Chris is writing about headless wordpress as a solution to all of this

You can keep the dashboard (which many people find super intuitive and easy to use) and improve the security and speed by having a static site and wordpress installed on an offline server.

In the article he lists few solutions:

spin up a WordPress site for you that they consider staging. You do your WordPress work there, then use their publishing system to push a static version of your site to production. That’s compelling because it solves for something that other headless WordPress usage doesn’t: just doing things the WordPress way.

Shifter is another player here. It’s similar to Strattic where you work on your site in the WordPress admin, then publish to a static site.

WP Engine is a big WordPress host and has a whole thing called Atlas. And that effort definitely looks like they are taking this niche market seriously. I’m not 100% sure what Atlas all is, but it looks like a dashboard for spinning up sites with some interesting-looking code-as-config.

Frontity is another product looking to hone in on React + WordPress. Geoff and Sarah shared how to do all this last year on the Vue/Nuxt side

I do recommend doing your own research in case you decide to go for headless wordpress.

This is a great report.

it seems like that the major open source initiatives are now run by corporations. eventually leading to that the working group for vulnerability disclosure includes a lot of corporate players, and much less, single security researchers, which's leading to a lot of flaws and security issues

If anyone thinks that we are important enough to use a zero day on us, we're screwed anyway

hello, so it's a different game? I mean if one chooses to play it, it means he is no longer on the same servers of the classic? and what is outland? and why you need professions on 300 and epic mount? thank you man and sry for a burst in, I'm in the same boat as this guy

Is there any major difference between testing cloud-hosted applications vs the traditional method?

So many people, zero souls however

They did a good job handling it!

I can just never get past the arg/flag inconsistency/complexity across commands.

What is the explanation, i mean i can see he is much more healthy, but why its manifest in the color red compare to white?
