Staff Reporter

The blog post by Kevin Montgomery on SearchStax elaborates on how website content is stored and rendered. It describes the historical context of delivering content in HTML format from static files and the evolution of CMS to manage, deliver, and render content. Traditional CMS systems are contrasted with Headless CMS, emphasizing the latter's retention of authentication, editing features, and content storage while utilizing a separate front end for rendering.

The text further explores rendering options for Headless CMS, including client-side single-page apps (SPAs), server-side static rendering, and edge-side rendering. The benefits and drawbacks of Headless CMS are discussed, noting its potential to reduce server costs and speed up web page response times when implemented correctly.
