How it works

## Familiar but faster

Ace your Lighthouse scores

### WordPress power meets Netlify performance

Keep WordPress as a best-in-class CMS for managing content, managing sites and component libraries, and enabling personalization.

-   The WordPress content editing experience you know
-   Up to 8x faster pages and instantaneous scaling — with less cost & complexity
-   Deliver secure web properties without the need for WordPress scaling

### A seamless integration

Run WordPress as a headless CMS with Netlify building your site and delivering it to end users.

-   Netlify listens for any changes from WordPress and new content is fetched using the WordPress APIs
-   Netlify prerenders your entire site using any tools and frameworks you configure
-   Once generated, your site is deployed across Netlify Edge in a single atomic update

Render WordPress pages with modern frontend tools

### Bring your own framework to modernize development

The WordPress APIs feed content to Netlify's build & deploy automation allowing your team to create rich, immersive experiences in the modern development framework of your choosing

-   React
-   Gatsby
-   Nextjs
-   VueJS & Nuxt
-   Astro
-   Many more…

Use build plugins from the community or create your own

### Customize your projects with your own build tools or microservices
