    I put together a very, VERY basic demo site using the nearly headless method.

    It’s fast. Really fast. Like, holy cow you can’t believe how fast it is fast.

    You can see it in-action here:

    I’ve got the preload middleware built. The results are load times that look like the page broke because it just…loads instantly.

    Obviously more markup/css will slow this down, but it’s still FAST.

    Current status of the Nearly Headless theme rebuild

    Current minified script size: 58.5 KiB

    Route, cache, and history support is implemented, using @Alpine_JS and Nicholas for routing

    Templates are structured to enable pages to load using PHP instead of alpine.

    I’ve built a few sites using the nearly headless method, but it’s been specific to my needs. To make this something that’s truly replicate-able (and teach-able), I have to abstract the code.

    So, with that, I’d like to introduce you to Nicholas.
    https://t.co/nRWlAw3amA Nicholas is a little extend-able library that helps with one of the key components of my nearly headless approach to building #WordPress websites – caching. Really, the entire approach revolves around this.

    More on that:
