Headless CMSs are a type of content management system (CMS) that separates the front-end presentation layer from the back-end content repository. This approach allows developers to use any technology stack they prefer for building websites and applications, as well as manage content in a centralized hub. The benefits of using a headless CMS include flexibility, speed, portability, centrality, cost savings, and improved security. However, it's important to note that the primary use case for websites is "single repository, single website," and most traditional CMS platforms handle this use case well.
