Headless fits when you have multiple frontends, strict performance budgets, or a product team that wants to ship UI independently of content ops.
Traditional coupled CMS is still excellent for editorial-heavy sites with a single website and a small technical team — fewer moving parts.
The real cost of headless is integration and training: you need a plan for preview, permissions, and publishing workflows, not just APIs.
Start from team skills and content velocity; pick the option your organization can run for three years, not the trendiest one.
