What is a headless CMS?

Definition

A headless CMS is a content management system that separates content management from display: you manage text and images in one place, and they appear on any site or app via an API.

Why it matters

A headless CMS offers the freedom to manage content without locking the design, with sites faster and more flexible than a traditional CMS.
