What is a Headless CMS and Why Should Your Business Care?

By Chithila Manul on September 29, 2025

A "Headless" CMS is a modern approach to content management that separates your content "body" from its presentation "head".

Flexibility

With a headless CMS, your content is stored as pure data. This means you can display it anywhere: on a website, a mobile app, a smart watch, or any future device.

Enhanced Security

By separating your content management from your frontend website, you reduce the attack surface for hackers.

Superior Performance

Frontends built with a headless CMS are often static or server-rendered, making them incredibly fast compared to traditional database-driven CMS platforms.
