Add dynamic features to your site / Go headless

Decouple your app: Use WordPress on the server-side to manage your data, and your framework of choice on the client-side to render your site.

• ✔︎ Next.js
• ✔︎ React
• ✔︎ Vue
• ✔︎ Astro
• ✔︎ (your choice here)

Remain in control of your data

Be able to sleep at night with plenty of safety features.

• ✔︎ Manage access granularly via Access Control
• ✔︎ Return predefined data via Persisted Queries
• ✔︎ Customize data for different users/apps via Custom Endpoints
• ✔︎ Configure what CPTs/taxonomies/meta/options can be queried

Speed is on your side

The server is engineered to be fast, very fast.

• ✔︎ Cache the response using standard HTTP Caching
• ✔︎ The schema is generated only the first time, and cached
• ✔︎ The query is resolved on linear time based on the number of inputs (not exponential)
• ✔︎ The resolution time is not affected by adding more CPTs
• ✔︎ The "n+1" query problem just doesn't happen, by design

Manage admin tasks, content workflows and automation

Transform content

Create and update posts in bulk:

• ✔︎ Add a CTA block to all posts before a campaign (and remove it right after)
• ✔︎ Duplicate posts
• ✔︎ (Regex) Search and replace everywhere (eg: replace the old domain with a new domain, add missing links, etc)

Translate content

Translate your posts to any language using Google Translate.

• ✔︎ Gutenberg supported: Translate block properties!
• ✔︎ Classic editor supported
• ✔︎ Accurate translation: All strings (from the post, or multiple posts) are sent to the API with a single request

Import content

Import any content (posts, users, tags, etc) from multiple sources:

• ✔︎ Another WordPress site
• ✔︎ An RSS feed
• ✔︎ Any REST or GraphQL API
• ✔︎ Any CSV source (eg: Google Sheets, Excel)
• ✔︎ In JSON, CSV or XML format

Interact with the cloud

Send data to (and process data from) any service:

• ✔︎ Publish new posts to Facebook or Twitter
• ✔︎ Subscribe a new user's email to your newsletter list in Mailchimp
• ✔︎ Send a Slack message when a product is sold
• ✔︎ React to a commit from GitHub via a webhook

Automate tasks

Add hooks and schedule WP-Cron tasks to:

• ✔︎ Add a mandatory block when a post is published
• ✔︎ Notify users when a comment is added
• ✔︎ Send yourself a daily summary of activity by email
• ✔︎ Synchronize inventories across systems when a product is sold
• ✔︎ Send a "happy birthday" email to your customers

Handle large data sets with ease

Create or update thousands of resources in bulk, executing a single query.

Distribute content across a network

Manage content in a WordPress multisite, or in a network of independent sites:

• ✔︎ Single source of truth: Host all content in a master site, and distribute it to downstream sites
• ✔︎ Multi-language: Host the content in your language (eg: English), translate it to multiple languages (eg: Spanish and French), and sync the translated content to each site (eg: es.mysite.com, fr.mysite.com)
• ✔︎ WordPress as Operating System of the web: Manage content in WordPress, and publish it across non-WordPress sites
