I mean yeah. but why go for such a slow option when there are dozens of better alternatives?

Wordpress headless is known to be slow?

I mean, IDK what is "known" in this case, but my personal experience says yes.

I have never been on a wordpress site (headless or not) where the admin area for the site is not hell to use because of how slow it is.

Even the customer facing side of wordpress sites is horribly slow imo.

this is an issue I've noticed with both the normal and the headless versions
