It also gives you all static advantages, like great performance, high traffic resistance, fast load speed, safety, great SEO, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to caching everything in a Content Delivery Network (CDN), Jamstack sites run smoothly every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why is it called Jamstack?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was a day when <strong>JAM<\/strong>stack was considered as a mashup of <strong>JavaScript <\/strong>(the code), reusable <strong>APIs <\/strong>(the website\u2019s infrastructure), and a <strong>Markup <\/strong>(pre-rendered final result).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Not anymore.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netlify (a Jamstack creator) went away from the technical JAM acronym and made it more of a <strong>development philosophy<\/strong> instead of a name based on some technical features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, you don\u2019t have to use JavaScript or API to build a Jamstack website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/jamstack-1024x634.png\" alt=\"jamstack workflow\" class=\"wp-image-10838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/jamstack-1024x634.png 1024w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/jamstack-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/jamstack-768x475.png 768w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/jamstack-500x309.png 500w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/jamstack-324x201.png 324w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/jamstack.png 1026w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-content-delivery-network\">What is the Content Delivery Network?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normally hosting service serves the site from a single location, in the case of CDN, each unique user is served through a server that is geographically the closest to his location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-jamstack-used-for\">What is Jamstack used for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, one of the most frequently asked questions is: <strong>Should I use Jamstack<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And although we love to think that you can use Jamstack in every single case there is, we are also humble enough to admit it\u2019s not entirely the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, many business cases prove that using it just makes perfect sense and brings many of its technical advantages to become business advantages as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you got a bit tired of reading, I&#8217;ve also made a dedicated video on When to use Jamstack, and when not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7su6Fp3c9tI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"839\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Screenshot-2021-09-29-at-11.21.57.png\" alt=\"youtube video about when to use jamstack?\" class=\"wp-image-8412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Screenshot-2021-09-29-at-11.21.57.png 839w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Screenshot-2021-09-29-at-11.21.57-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Screenshot-2021-09-29-at-11.21.57-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Screenshot-2021-09-29-at-11.21.57-500x281.png 500w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Screenshot-2021-09-29-at-11.21.57-324x182.png 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when-to-use-jamstack\"><span class=\"underline-accent\">When to use Jamstack?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you want to build:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>eCommerce websites<\/strong> \u2013 your Jamstack website will definitely help you engage your customers (page speed and better UX) and rank higher in Google search results (SEO &amp; UX, and oh yes, Core Web Vitals).

In a world full of look-alike websites and shops, it\u2019s a great way to differentiate your business from the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, it\u2019s not only about building a good-looking site \u2013 it should be also user-friendly from a page speed and performance point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask yourself \u2013 would you come back to the place where you had a terrible experience? Like waiting in a line in the shop with a huge line, 10 checkouts, and only one of them working?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same rule applies to websites and webshops \u2013 the first impression will either encourage you to or discourage you from coming back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the overall experience is terrible, it\u2019s less likely you will come back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>User experience is also important for Google and its crawlers<\/strong>. They even gave some suggestions to implement the user experience of our website or online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Essential things for Google:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Easy-to-read, relevant and helpful content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Responsive design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fast page load speed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear and well-organised site architecture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"search-engine-optimisation-seo\">Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few reasons why Jamstack sites are SEO-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, Jamstack means getting <strong>complete control over the website\u2019s content and structure<\/strong>, and consequently, over the SEO possibilities. Adding custom metadata like the titles, meta descriptions, and alt text is easy. It helps Google crawlers with reading and indexing your website\u2019s content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another thing that helps with indexing is that Jamstack websites are static \u2013 they consist of HTML files. Thus, it solves many typical problems with improving a website&#8217;s SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google loves Jamstack because of one more reason \u2013 its <strong>high performance and fast page load speed<\/strong>. As a result, such websites are rewarded with higher rankings in search results. Consequently, it leads to more visitors, leads, and sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-code-mind-cta c-cta-block\" style=\"background-color:#00141F;color:#FFFFFF\"><div class=\"c-cta-block__content\"><p class=\"c-cta-block__title\">Want to switch to Jamstack? <\/p><div class=\"c-cta-block__action\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/services\/jamstack-development\" class=\"c-cta-block__button ga-cta ga-cta-consultation theme-bg-3\">Use our Experienced Jamstack Developers<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"performance-and-speed\">Performance and speed<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, the page load speed and the performance of a website are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Important SEO ranking factors <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affecting user experience (positively or negatively)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Impacting conversion rate (positively or negatively)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s retake a look at some stats to highlight the importance of speed and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Almost 70% of site visitors admit that page load speed <strong>has a huge impact on their buying decision<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/unbounce.com\/page-speed-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Unbounce<\/a>).<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>47% of site visitors expect that a website <strong>will load in two seconds or less<\/strong>.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>40% of site visitors will abandon a website if <strong>they need to wait more than three seconds till it fully loads<\/strong><\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Jamstack websites pre-generate specific pages at a build time, it increases the page load speed and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides that, all pages are stored on a Content Delivery Network closest to the user that visits a website.

Let&#8217;s make the final decision easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Gatsbyvsnextjs-comparison.png.webp\" alt=\"Table with advantages of Jamstack static site generators - gatsby and nextjs\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, both are for building performant and SEO-friendly websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Next.js and Gatsby are also:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Using React.js<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Following the Jamstack architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simplifying web development (as they provide a boilerplate \u2013 a fixed structure to follow during the development process)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Selected by big players like hulu, TikTok, InVision (Next.js) or Impossible Foods, Figma, SendGrid (Gatsby)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the similarities. Now, let\u2019s jump to the differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main difference is that Gatsby JS is just a static site generator, while Next.js offers both server-side rendering and static site generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Static site generation (SSG) means that the HTML is generated at build time and reused on each request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Server-side rendering (SSR) means that the HTML is generated on each request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Next.js<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Gatsby<\/strong> <strong>JS<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Data handling<\/strong><\/td><td>Developers can choose how to approach data fetching<\/td><td>You need to use GraphQL<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Community<\/strong><\/td><td>A quite small showcase of websites built with Next.js (around 100 websites)<\/td><td>Agency program supporting agencies using Jamstack<br>A quite big showcase (more than 1000 websites)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Plugins, themes, extensions, integrations<\/strong><\/td><td>Encourages developers to build everything from scratch<\/td><td>Many ready-to-use plugins<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to learn more, you can read our article in which we compared <a href=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/nextjs-vs-gatsbyjs-comparison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Next js vs Gatsby JS<\/a>.

Below you will find short comparisons versus its alternatives such as WordPress, SPA and MERN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jamstack-vs-wordpress\"><span class=\"underline-accent\">Jamstack vs WordPress<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress is an example of monolithic architecture, while Jamstack is an example of headless architecture, and that\u2019s the main difference between these two. The good news is that businesses that enjoy using WordPress don\u2019t have to give up using it, as it pairs well with Jamstack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jamstack websites <strong>are more secure<\/strong> as there is no direct connection to the database or other sensitive data (because the front-end layer is separated from the back-end layer)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sites built with Jamstack <strong>don\u2019t rely on a server<\/strong> as they are pre-built and serverless<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Static sites (aka Jamstack sites) <strong>are faster <\/strong>than dynamic sites by default<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WordPress handles everything needed for a website to work, so you <strong>don\u2019t need additional technologies<\/strong> or solutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WordPress <strong>is less demanding<\/strong> than Jamstack when it comes to managing content or required technical knowledge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of WordPress, you can use it as a great headless CMS! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jamstack-vs-spa\"><span class=\"underline-accent\">Jamstack vs SPA<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Single Page Application (SPA) is a web app or website that rewrites the current page with new data instead of loading it from scratch. Thus, it feels like browsing a native application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To put it simply, SPAs are Jamstack sites, while not all Jamstack sites are SPAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main difference between these two is that Jamstack sites consist of pre-rendering static HTML files while SPAs load content when users request it first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jamstack-vs-mern\"><span class=\"underline-accent\">Jamstack vs MERN<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MERN stands for MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js, and these are the technologies that make up the stack. On the contrary, Jamstack doesn\u2019t limit developers when it comes to choosing technologies to use. Furthermore, it doesn\u2019t require using particular libraries or frameworks as a must. Instead, Jamstack refers to JavaScript, API, and Markup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re interested in more alternatives, check out this article: <a href=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/jamstack-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 Best Jamstack Alternatives to choose in 2021<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jamstack-for-ecommerce\">Jamstack for eCommerce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you already know, Jamstack can be used not only for corporate websites or landing pages but also for building online webshops. Such a way of eCommerce development is getting more and more popular as it takes advantage of headless architecture a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to read more about what <a href=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/what-is-headless-ecommerce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Headless eCommerce is, check out this article.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pros-of-jamstack-for-ecommerce\"><span class=\"underline-accent\">Pros of Jamstack for eCommerce<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building a webshop is way more complicated and demanding than setting up even the most advanced website. Some Jamstack benefits are common for every industry, but let\u2019s look at them specifically from an eCommerce perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ability to sell products everywhere \u2013 <\/strong>which results in<strong> <\/strong>higher revenue. With Jamstack, you can display and sell your products on multiple platforms like Amazon or Facebook. Also, you can manage all digital sales channels in one place instead of managing them separately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improved time to market \u2013 <\/strong>which results in time and money savings. Jamstack offers reusable and premade components that boost the development process. Consequently, it leads to faster time to market, which means savings in both time and money.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Developer experience<\/strong> \u2013 which results in faster development. This benefit is strictly connected to the previous one as thanks to the developer experience, time to market is improved. Also, Jamstack gives developers the possibility and resources to use APIs so webshops owners can stay with their favourite platforms like Shopify. Thanks to that, developers can focus solely on front-end development. It cuts not only the development time but also the amount of money spent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unlimited customisation<\/strong> \u2013 which results in a greater user experience. A digital world is full of lookalike webshops offering the same shopping experience. With Jamstack, you can build a truly custom storefront to adapt your webshop to customers\u2019 needs and expectations. Thanks to that, you will undoubtedly stand out from the competition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-ecommerce-jamstack-platforms\"><span class=\"underline-accent\">Best eCommerce Jamstack platforms <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"34\" class=\"wp-image-4575\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/bigcommerce-logo.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/bigcommerce-logo.png 2000w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/bigcommerce-logo-300x68.png 300w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/bigcommerce-logo-1024x231.png 1024w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/bigcommerce-logo-768x173.png 768w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/bigcommerce-logo-1536x346.png 1536w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/bigcommerce-logo-500x113.png 500w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/bigcommerce-logo-324x73.png 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-7091\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/magento-adobe.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/magento-adobe.png 1200w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/magento-adobe-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/magento-adobe-1024x343.png 1024w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/magento-adobe-768x257.png 768w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/magento-adobe-500x168.png 500w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/magento-adobe-324x109.png 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"53\" class=\"wp-image-4293\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/saleor-logo.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/saleor-logo.png 600w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/saleor-logo-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/saleor-logo-500x175.png 500w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/saleor-logo-324x113.png 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"44\" class=\"wp-image-4287\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/shopify-logo-e1613470096530.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/shopify-logo-e1613470096530.png 600w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/shopify-logo-e1613470096530-300x88.png 300w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/shopify-logo-e1613470096530-500x146.png 500w, https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/shopify-logo-e1613470096530-324x95.png 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BigCommerce<\/td><td>Magento&nbsp;<\/td><td>Saleor<\/td><td>Shopify<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the comparison of 6 Top Jamstack Headless eCommerce platforms here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jamstack-faq\">Jamstack FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pagepro.co\/blog\/jamstack-faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We\u2019ve answered the most popular questions about Jamstack, check it out.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-code-mind-cta c-cta-block\" style=\"background-color:#00141F;color:#FFFFFF\"><div class=\"c-cta-block__content\"><p class=\"c-cta-block__title\">Ready to switch to Jamstack?
