Headless CMS Explained: What is a Headless CMS? And do YOU need one?

A headless CMS is a backend-only content management system. It uses the power of APIs to connect to an endless number of frontends from a single centralized source. The result is a next-gen system built for flexibility and scalability. In this video, Alvaro from Storyblok will cover what a headless CMS is and how it can benefit your organization.

I don't understand why headless should be faster. The computation time is just "somewhere else".

So instead of the monolith taking 500ms to respond, it's like 150+350+ms sending Rest-API, waiting for response, interpreting the DOM for me

At least you tried well. But still sounds like abracadabra...
