Headless WordPress + React Blog

A React frontend fully decoupled from WordPress, fetching content through WPGraphQL.

React · WPGraphQL · WordPress

Problem

The traditional WordPress theme loaded slowly and was hard to customize deeply.

Solution

Kept wp-admin for editing, exposed content via WPGraphQL, configured CORS, and let React render the entire frontend itself.

Result

Load times dropped noticeably, and editors did not need to learn a new tool.

What I would improve next time

If I rebuilt this, I would add automatic static rebuilding (ISR).
