  1. Gatsby with WordPress Fast, Responsive Static Website Development

  2. A post by Hubspot confirms The first 5 seconds of page loading time have the highest impact on conversion rates. While it is easier for website developers who can experiment with the code and optimize the page load time, technically naive website owners have a hard time figuring out the issues. And that is when they reach out to web development experts to find a solution.

  3. Gatsby with WordPress: Need for Static Site Generation The client owns a professional WordPress site to offer outsourced image editing services. It is a third-party agency that edits pictures on behalf of customers. End-users upload the pictures to the website and the client converts them to professional pictures (especially for marketplace product portfolios). The list of their services is really long and so is the content. We found our answer in Static content generation. Static content is relatively light on the system resources while serving massive requests. The content uses Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and serves the local users in a snap. But then again, it is not meant for technically naive admins.

  4. How do we use Gatsby with WordPress to build Static Website? We delivered the WordPress static site with Gatsby with the following steps: • Created a Gatsby Site • Integrated client’s WordPress with the Gatsby site • Fetched the URLs • Created templates for pages and posts • Fetched posts with GraphQL

  5. Development of Static site with Gatsby and WordPress Gatsby behaves more like a web app It stores enormous data in the browser, than a mere framework for creating websites. The React-based framework pre-fetches information from the data source. In our case, it is the existing WordPress site with links. Our experts have created custom scripts to manage this. The script triggers Gatsby to create pages for each link from the WordPress site. The custom scripts further process GraphQL queries to fetch the post publishing dates and the author names

  6. Our solution Our solution can now fetch all the pages well before time, which saves the website from triggering the WordPress backend every now and then.

  7. Further possibilities of integrating Gatsby with WordPress • Responsive design: Our experts have ensured that the final website offers a uniform user experience across all devices. The action buttons and the content is optimized for all the screen sizes. • Multilanguage support: Websites that speak native languages feel more personalized for users. However, managing a content-heavy website with multiple languages is often challenging.

  8. Our experience with Headless WordPress Headless approach This wasn’t the first time when our experts were asked to offer a decoupled CMS. Our web developers have previously created websites with a headless approach. The approach not only saved the backend from getting overloaded but also boosted the response time leaving the customers with a pleasant user experience.

  9. Gatsby with WordPress: Final Words on Static Website Development React-based frameworks are here to stay. With Javascript languages being highly popular among developers, the learning graph for these frameworks is relatively low. As a website owner, you can’t ignore the excellent user interface these frameworks can offer to your traditional website. If you too are looking to replace your existing WordPress infrastructure with a headless approach or a static website to accelerate the page load speed, you can contact us today.
