Headless WordPress separates content management from presentation. Editors write in WordPress as usual, while a frontend framework like Next.js or Nuxt renders pages that fetch content from the REST API or GraphQL. The pattern promises speed, freedom in UI engineering, and alignment with modern app workflows. It also adds new…
Images carry the mood and meaning of a page, but they also account for most of its weight. Moving to modern formats is the fastest way to cut bytes without flattening detail. AVIF and WebP both shrink file size compared to JPEG and PNG. AVIF usually wins on aggressive compression…
Design systems fall apart when colours drift, headings shrink or bloat, and spacing changes from page to page. Design tokens solve that by turning visual decisions into named, reusable values. In WordPress, theme.json is the most direct way to define and enforce those decisions. Put your tokens there, wire them…
Core Web Vitals are not a one time tune up. They are the result of steady choices that keep your site fast and calm in real use. If the homepage scores well in the lab but product pages stutter on mid range phones, visitors feel the stutter. Treat 2025 as…
The first screen is a decision point. A visitor lands, skims for two or three seconds, and either commits or leaves. Strong above-the-fold optimization gives that moment structure. It explains what you do, shows why it matters, and offers one clear action. The goal is clarity without clutter and speed…
Local search is where service businesses win or lose. When someone types “plumber near me” or “accountant in Shoreditch,” Google decides which three businesses to show in the map pack and which sites earn the first organic slots under it. WordPress gives you everything you need to compete, but only…
Most responsive sites still lean on viewport media queries. That works until a component lands in a tighter column or a wide card rail. The viewport might be huge, yet the component’s box is not. CSS container queries fix that mismatch. Instead of asking how wide the screen is, they…
Nested grids look tidy in design tools, then drift once real content lands. A card title wraps, a badge appears, a translation grows, and suddenly elements stop lining up across columns and modules. CSS subgrid fixes that problem by letting child grids inherit track definitions and gaps from their parent….
Visitors decide how a site feels in the first few taps. If navigation cuts hard from one page to the next, the experience can feel abrupt even when load time is acceptable. The View Transitions API gives you a way to soften that jump. It captures the current view, swaps…
Modern sites need small, sharp interactions that feel instant on real phones. Think menus that open without delay, tabs that switch without a flash, filters that refine content while the page stays steady. The WordPress Interactivity API gives you those touches with very little script, no bulky frameworks, and a…
Major WordPress releases are smoother when you prepare like a release manager, not like a gambler. Treat WordPress 6.9 as a planned change. Build a short checklist, test on staging, and only then roll it to production. The aim is simple. No broken templates. No missing styles. No surprise performance…
If you sell or provide digital services to EU consumers, accessibility is no longer a nice upgrade. It is a legal requirement that now sits alongside your security and privacy checks. The European Accessibility Act applies from 28 June 2025, bringing common rules for many consumer products and services across…
