The headless & bespoke CMS.
Why more and more companies leave WordPress and monolithic architectures for decoupled solutions that are safer and faster.
The classic approach
Monolithic CMSs
WordPress, Shopify Legacy, Wix, Webflow...
These tools bundle content, database and display into a single whole. On every visit, the server queries the database and loads many files, which slows the experience.
- Slower loading, penalised by Google
- Frequent security holes through plugins
- Regular technical maintenance
- Design limited by rigid templates
The modern approach
Headless & decoupled CMSs
Sanity, Payload, Strapi, Contentful...
The headless approach separates content management (the writing interface) from the site display. Content is delivered through an API to a pre-generated site, served fast and with little exposed surface.
- Fast pages, high Lighthouse scores
- Reduced attack surface, no exposed web server
- Minimal technical maintenance
- Clear, bespoke admin interface
Technical comparison.
| Criterion | Classic CMS (monolith) | Headless CMS (Konfector) |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Heavy. WordPress queries the database and loads its plugins on every visit, often over 3s. | Fast. Pre-generated pages served by a global CDN, usually under a second. |
| Security | Exposed. Database and admin interface reachable online; most vulnerabilities come from third-party plugins. | Kept to a minimum. No exposed server or database, so far less attack surface. |
| Maintenance | Regular. Frequent updates, with the risk of conflicts between plugins. | Light. No plugins to keep up with, no database to watch day to day. |
| Design freedom | Limited. Constrained by existing templates or page builders like Elementor or Divi. | Open. The design is built straight into a functional mockup, coded bespoke, with no technical constraint. |
| Scalability | Restrictive. Each new feature often means one more plugin, which weighs the site down. | Simple. We connect payments, a CRM or business tools through modern APIs. |
