Headless typically offers better performance and security than other web solution or CMS-built sites. By decoupling your CMS and your frontend, you gain nearly endless control from a development standpoint. Frontend developers can get creative with dynamic uses of JavaScript, and deliver an ‘outside the template’ experience. When you go headless, you shed some serious weight. Since your system now consists of just a content database and API calls, your content delivery can be responsive, sleek, and fast.
Decoupled and headless approaches minimize risk to your content. Since your content lives separate from your front-end delivery, it is not as exposed or at risk to third-party application issues. For example, DDoS attacks on an Headless WordPress site are typically blocked by our enterprise-grade WAF before they even hit your frontend. And even if and that’s a big if!) a DDoS attack were to get through the WAF, your frontend is still separate from your backend, adding yet another layer of protection to your site.
