FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about WordPress
Is WordPress secure?
WordPress core is secure and actively maintained by the WordPress Security Team. Vulnerabilities typically come from outdated plugins, weak passwords, and misconfigured servers. We harden every WordPress site: two-factor auth, automatic core/plugin updates, a WAF (Cloudflare or Wordfence), and file integrity monitoring.
What is headless WordPress?
Headless WordPress uses WordPress purely as a content management backend — editors use the familiar admin interface — while the public-facing website is built with a modern framework like Next.js or Nuxt consuming the WPGraphQL or REST API. This gives editorial teams the CMS they know and developers the performance of a JAMstack architecture.
What is Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and why use it?
ACF Pro is a plugin that adds structured custom fields to any post type — text, images, galleries, repeaters, relationship fields, and more. It makes WordPress genuinely powerful as a structured CMS rather than a blog engine, and integrates natively with Gutenberg blocks and the REST/GraphQL APIs.
How do you improve WordPress performance?
We implement server-side page caching (WP Rocket or LiteSpeed Cache), Redis object caching for database queries, a CDN for static assets, image optimisation (Smush or ShortPixel), lazy loading, and database cleanup of post revisions and transients. Most slow WordPress sites see 3–5x improvement with these changes.
Can WordPress handle high traffic?
Yes, with the right infrastructure. WordPress.com (which runs on WordPress) handles billions of pageviews a month. The keys are: managed hosting with full-page caching (WP Engine, Kinsta), a CDN, Redis object cache, and efficient query design. We architect for scale from the start.
WordPress or a headless CMS like Contentful?
WordPress if your content team is already familiar with it, you need e-commerce via WooCommerce, or you want thousands of available plugins. A dedicated headless CMS (Contentful, Sanity) if you need multi-channel content delivery (web + mobile + IoT), structured content modelling, and are building a purely API-driven architecture.
