Bringing Svelte to 40% of the Web: Using Wordpress to Power Svelte
summary
Claim: WordPress powers over 40% of sites and can serve as a headless CMS that actually supports web, iOS and Android clients from one backend. The proof uses Local WP, the WPGraphQL + SvelteKit stack, an env var for the GraphQL endpoint, fetch inside SvelteKit load functions, and dynamic slug routes to render posts. The demo also mounts a persistent Buzzsprout iframe player in the app layout so audio survives navigation and verifies uninterrupted playback, showing the approach supports iOS and Android via the same GraphQL endpoint.
