Audiophile website using Headless Wordpress

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I saw this task, where it is proposed to use a headless CMS, especially since I had already worked with Wordpress before, but I learned about headless for the first time. I decided to give it a try. In my opinion, the main disadvantage of Wordpress is that it is very difficult to make a rocket out of it, it is unrealistic to bring Page Speed ​​Insights close to 100. So it turns out that if you take the backend and admin panel of Wordpress, and write your own front, then this is really cool. The site flies fast! At the same time, it is possible to change / add content and products without any problems.

If you are interested, you can see a demo of what the admin panel looks like from the inside

I can provide full access upon request.

At the same time, the load on the hosting and the database during the development process is minimal. In short, I recommend this approach.

Orders are actually sent and displayed in the admin panel, you can send them to email quite quickly. For full operation, this store only lacks payment acceptance and protection from bots. I specifically reduced the number of required fields so that it would be easier to check.

P.S. Only during my work I learned about Strapi, I want to try it next.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

In terms of layout, the main difficulty was how to synchronize the sizes of the loaded blocks with the skeleton blocks and control their changes when the screen width changes. At the same time, it is necessary to achieve a minimum displacement of these blocks, otherwise Page Speed ​​greatly reduces the indicators. This took a lot of time.

In general, the project is really complex, my code time shows 71 hours and about 10 hours to configure WordPress.

Also, Github pages categorically refused to receive data from a domain without SSL, and on the test domain I could not make HTTPS, I had to register a new domain ((

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

Maybe there are some automatic means of adjusting skeletons? I'm really tired of doing this.
