Hello friends!
In the past few blogs, we've covered Headless CMS from different points, Headless eCommerce and Headless business value. Today we will see a real comparison between two of the most used CMS, one headless (StoryBlok) and one standard (WordPress), let's go.
Check out our Headless CMS Business value blog post.
Approach
Storyblok is the only Headless Content Management System with a Visual Editor. It allows content creators with no coding skills to edit content independently of the developer, using a built-in visual editor. WordPress is an open-source CMS (content management system) to create and manage a website. Content creators start working after being built, so website and content are coupled.
Architecture and Channel Delivery
When it comes to architecture and Channel Delivery, both of these are adverse. While Storyblok utilizes a decoupled architecture, it allows each computing component to exist and perform tasks independently of one another. WordPress’ architecture is coupled, back-end, and front-end are related. For Channel Delivery, Storyblok depends on the omnichannel distribution, far from WordPress, single-channel delivery.
Speed
Concerning the speed of each website, Storyblok employs the JAMstack approach stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup, providing a simpler developer experience, better and faster performance, and pages being served pre-build as markup. Although WordPress becomes slower as it grows and plugins are loaded on every page.
Security
To assure security, on the one hand, Storyblok provides read-only content, which content can only be read, or copied but not modified. It uses only native apps/plugins. On the other hand, WordPress increases vulnerability by using Third-Party hosting, even though web servers are unsafe.
Pricing
Storyblok has a low price entry-point for self-service, so it’s transparent and predictable, contrary to WordPress, free of charge however it comes with constant additional costs such as hosting, plugins…
