Hello guys, anyone got any experience of using headless Magento as a CMS? If so, what’s it like SEO wise?
 
Headless, as in an api (or does it signify being mindless)? Magento is not really meant to be a cms. I mean sure, could you not use your sledge hammer to grind some pepper (or use wordpress to make some site that isn't even a blog)? Sure you can, but would you do it? Probably not.

The last time I checked, magento came with 300+ db tables to begin with. A blog could simply be done with 3-4 (or none, for flat file based ones), depending on the requirement.

With that, would you hire a magento developer if you need to place a sidebar ad? You sure can. The choice is yours.

Strapi comes made for CMS already. Check it out. Or you go with next.js and vercel. Both require some core dev skills though.

+1 for nextjs. Lean, maintainable and fast.. if you know react, you already know next. :D
 
scandipwa fully integrates with magento
first webpage load takes some time in base of how many products you have on your homepage
then you access products instanly without the page refresh
 
Magento is a really good fit for the back-end of a headless build, be it via a separate framework or a headless CMS.
Magento has given us the power to create a unique, and engaging customer shopping experience. There are many rich, out-of-the-box features and seamless third-party integrations we can utilize.

Are there specific SEO considerations compared to a traditional one?
