  Hi everyone,

  I have built my business website using Next.js for performance and SEO. Now I want to use WordPress only as a headless CMS to manage blogs and resources, while keeping the frontend in Next.js.

  My goals:

  • Manage blog posts easily via WordPress dashboard
  • Fetch posts in Next.js dynamically
  • Maintain SEO (meta tags, schema, URLs)
  • Keep website fast and secure

  What is the best way to:

  1. Set up WordPress as headless CMS?
  2. Connect WordPress REST API or GraphQL with Next.js?
  3. Handle SEO metadata properly?
  4. Deploy both setups efficiently?

  Any best practices or recommended architecture would be helpful.

  Thanks in advance!

  We can’t be much of a help as that site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform – https://wordpress.com/site-profiler/http://www.taxgarden.in

  You better post your question in the forum at https://wordpress.org/
