Host and infrastructure agnostic.

Build and launch your site where you want. HeadstartWP can be deployed to any hosting environment, whether you’d prefer a managed platform provider like WordPress VIP or WP Engine, have your own AWS or Azure stack, or even a combination of both. Choose the metal that works best for you.

Performance-oriented.

HeadstartWP supports all of the Next.js rendering patterns, including Static Site Generation (SSG), on-demand Incremental Site Regeneration (ISR), and Server Side Rendering (SSR). Pick the approach that fits your site and infrastructure, and watch your PageSpeed scores climb.
