Case Study: Backlinko boosts site speed and Core Web Vitals with Bejamas’ Next.js and Headless WordPress solution

Backlinko speeds up loading 3x with Bejamas

Backlinko, a major SEO blog and brand, faced significant performance issues with their large, content-heavy WordPress website. Slow loading times, high Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), and a poor user experience due to legacy code were critical problems, especially with Google's Core Web Vitals update looming. They engaged the vendor Bejamas to address these challenges and modernize their stack.

Bejamas implemented a solution by moving Backlinko to a headless architecture using Next.js for the frontend and headless WordPress with WPGraphQL as the CMS. This Jamstack approach resulted in the website loading three times faster and dramatic improvements in Core Web Vitals scores, including a significant decrease in LCP. The vendor Bejamas delivered a faster, more secure website with no trade-offs in functionality, greatly impressing the client.
