## What it is
Next WP is a headless WordPress starter template built with Next.js App Router, React Server Components, TypeScript, shadcn/ui, and Tailwind CSS. It provides type-safe WordPress REST API data fetching, server-side pagination, and automatic cache revalidation via a WordPress plugin webhook.

## Use cases
- build a headless WordPress site with Next.js
- render WordPress posts and pages in a React frontend
- set up a decoupled CMS blog with type-safe API calls
- deploy a WordPress-backed site to Vercel or Railway
- automatically revalidate cached WordPress content on publish
- create a fast static-ish site from WordPress content

## When to choose
- you want to keep WordPress as the CMS but use Next.js for the frontend
- you need a production-ready starter with TypeScript types for the WordPress REST API
- you want instant cache revalidation when content changes in WordPress
- you prefer shadcn/ui and Tailwind for rapid UI development

## When to avoid
- you need a traditional PHP WordPress theme
- you want a headless CMS other than WordPress
- you need WooCommerce support out of the box (use next-woo instead)
- you want a fully managed SaaS solution rather than a self-hosted starter
