WordPress Wars. Is React a New Winner?
summary
WordPress now ships a React‑based block editor and adding new blocks requires Node.js and React so plugin work shifts to JavaScript, while traditional PHP templates and full site editing remain HTML/PHP. Many teams adopt headless with Next.js/Gatsby via REST or GraphQL to chase better Core Web Vitals and SEO, and vendors claim improved security. Page builders push low‑code options, so investing in React plus one headless stack becomes a practical career bet.
