Artificial Poets Reusable Components CDN

WP Components lets one WordPress site act as a Host that publishes a Library of named pieces of content — a logo, a tagline, a social-links JSON blob, a privacy notice — and any number of other sites act as Receivers that subscribe to that Host and consume those components instantly.

Every component has a stable slug, a type (json, text, or file), a per-component cache TTL, and an auto-incrementing version number that becomes its HTTP ETag. Subscribers fetch the latest version on demand and revalidate cheaply with 304 Not Modified for unchanged content.

A single site can also act as both Host and Receiver — publish your own Library while subscribing to one or more remote Hosts.

Use cases

• Keep brand assets (logo, favicon, tagline, contact info) in sync across a fleet of WordPress sites without copy-paste.
• Centralise structured data (footer links, locations, pricing tables) so updating once propagates everywhere.
• Serve component content from a dedicated CDN subdomain via a thin reverse-proxy layer.
• Pull versioned content into a headless frontend (Next.js, Astro, Vercel) with stable cache semantics.

Key features

• Three component types — JSON, plain text, and file (proxies URLs through the REST endpoint).
• Two independent capabilities — publish your Library and/or subscribe to a remote Host. Toggle each side on or off in Settings.
• HTTP cache headers — every /raw response sends ETag, Last-Modified, and Cache-Control: public, max-age=<TTL>, must-revalidate. Conditional requests get 304 Not Modified.
• Per-IP rate limiting — 120 requests per 60 seconds on the host endpoints.
• CORS control — open, allowlist, or denylist by domain (with *.example.com wildcard support).
• Optional authentication — require Application Passwords on either side independently.
• Source connection tester — verify a Host URL from the Settings page before saving.
• Native admin UI — built on WordPress admin patterns, fully translatable.

REST endpoints (Host mode)

• GET /wp-json/wp-components/v1/components — list all published components
• GET /wp-json/wp-components/v1/components/{slug} — fetch one as JSON metadata
• GET /wp-json/wp-components/v1/components/{slug}/raw — fetch with type-appropriate Content-Type (text/plain, application/json, or proxied file bytes)
