Headless Bridge by Crux

Beskrywing

Headless Bridge by Crux is a high-performance headless WordPress solution that pre-compiles your content into optimized JSON responses. Unlike traditional REST API or WPGraphQL solutions that calculate data on-the-fly, Headless Bridge compiles everything when you save a post, resulting in lightning-fast API responses.

Why Headless Bridge?

Traditional headless WordPress setups suffer from “Plugin Bloat”:
* They calculate data on-the-fly, leading to slow TTFB (Time To First Byte)
* Complex, nested JSON structures that frontend developers struggle with
* Every request hits the database and runs PHP logic
* Performance degrades as your site grows

Headless Bridge uses a “Zero-Runtime” architecture:
* Pre-calculates the entire API response when a post is SAVED
* Stores flat, optimized JSON in a custom database table
* Serves responses via a single, fast REST endpoint
* Includes SEO metadata and responsive images automatically

Performance Benefits

Traditional WPGraphQL:
* TTFB: ~500ms
* Response size: 15KB (nested)
* Database queries: 12+

Headless Bridge:
* TTFB: ~50ms (10x faster!)
* Response size: 8KB (flat)
* Database queries: 1
