Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Hatch Connect - Astro Headless for Cloudflare
It means WordPress is only your back office. You write and manage content there as usual, and a separate frontend shows it to visitors. Hatch sets up that frontend on Cloudflare for you and keeps it in step with WordPress.
In everyday use they mean nearly the same thing: the back end (WordPress) and the front end (what visitors see) are separate. "Headless" and "decoupled" describe the split. "Jamstack" usually describes a frontend built from pre-made files plus APIs. Hatch's frontend renders pages on request through Cloudflare Workers.
No. The setup guide walks you through a Cloudflare token, a low-privilege WordPress account and one Deploy button. Developers can go further and build their own frontend against the REST API.
Yes. WordPress stays your back office and the block editor stays as it is. Hatch exposes your content over the WordPress REST API and deploys an Astro frontend to Cloudflare Workers in your own Cloudflare account. You can also build your own frontend (Astro, or any other) against the same hatch/v1 API.
It is a different route to the same goal, a headless WordPress site. Faust.js asks you to build a Next.js app and install the FaustWP and WPGraphQL plugins. WPGraphQL adds a GraphQL API that you query yourself. Hatch deploys a ready-made Astro frontend and reads WordPress over REST. See "How Hatch compares" in the Description.
No. Hatch does not use GraphQL and does not need the WPGraphQL plugin. It uses the REST API that is built into WordPress.
Neither is better in every case. Both are ways for one program to ask another for data. REST works like visiting an address: you request /wp-json/hatch/v1/... and get the data back as JSON. It is built into every WordPress site, so there is nothing extra to install. GraphQL works like filling in an order form: you send one query that lists exactly the fields you want. It needs an extra WordPress plugin such as WPGraphQL. Hatch is built on REST, which keeps the plugin list on your site short and lets any developer build a frontend against the hatch/v1 routes.
For many sites, yes. Instead of writing, hosting and maintaining your own app, you deploy a finished Astro frontend from your dashboard. If you need a fully custom app, build it against the hatch/v1 REST API.
Astro is a web framework for content sites. It builds pages as plain HTML and CSS and sends very little JavaScript to the browser, which suits blogs, magazines, docs and shops that are mostly reading.
SSR means server-side rendering: a server builds each page when a visitor asks for it. Hatch's frontend does this on Cloudflare Workers, so a published post can appear without rebuilding the whole site. Publishing also tells the frontend to refresh. By default pages are cached for 60 seconds and may be served stale for up to an hour while they refresh.
