HeadlessNext Connector

HeadlessNext Connector seamlessly links your WordPress CMS with modern decoupled frontends like Next.js, Vercel, Nuxt, SvelteKit, or Remix.

When editors publish, update, or delete posts and pages in WordPress, HeadlessNext Connector sends a fast, asynchronous, non-blocking webhook (POST request) to your frontend API route. This triggers Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), updating your static site’s cache instantly without rebuilding the entire website!

Key Features:

• On-Demand ISR Revalidation: Trigger instant cache invalidation on Next.js (revalidatePath() or revalidateTag()) when posts or pages change in WordPress.
• Asynchronous & Non-Blocking: Fires requests in the background so WordPress post publishing is never delayed waiting for external server responses.
• Shared Secret Security: Send an X-HeadlessNext-Secret HTTP header to verify that revalidation requests originate exclusively from your authorized WordPress site.
• Universal Compatibility: Works with any active WordPress theme, Gutenberg block editor, Classic Editor, and custom REST API / GraphQL setups.
• Zero Overhead: Completely inert when no Frontend URL is configured. Zero external tracking or phone-home requests.
