Smooth API Accelerator

Description

Smooth API Accelerator helps WordPress sites deliver selected REST API responses faster by preparing JSON snapshots and serving them through Smooth Bundle.

It is useful when WordPress is used as a backend for a headless website, mobile app, public content feed, or any frontend that repeatedly requests the same REST API data. Instead of making WordPress build the same response for every visitor, your frontend can use CDN-delivered JSON files that are easier to cache and faster to load globally.

The plugin is designed for projects where API speed, predictable content delivery, and lower WordPress server load matter.

Good use cases include:
* Headless WordPress websites
* Frontends built with React, Next.js, Astro, Vue, or other frameworks
* Mobile apps using WordPress as a backend
* Sites that expose public content through the WordPress REST API
* High-traffic pages or feeds that do not need a fresh dynamic REST response on every request

Benefits

• Faster REST API delivery through CDN-served JSON snapshots
• Lower load on WordPress for frequently requested API data
• Better cache behavior for headless and frontend applications
• A wp-admin workflow for selecting and syncing useful API responses
• Automatic refresh after content changes
• Optional protected JSON delivery for projects that need restricted access
• Cleaner payload options for block-based WordPress content

What you can do with it

• Prepare WordPress content for a Next.js, Astro, React, Vue, Nuxt, SvelteKit, or Remix frontend
• Serve posts, pages, taxonomy data, and other selected REST API responses from Smooth Bundle
• Keep synced JSON up to date without writing custom export scripts
• Reduce repeated REST API work on your WordPress server
• Use the API Accelerator SDK in frontend projects to fetch synced JSON more conveniently

How it works

1. Connect your WordPress site to Smooth Bundle.
2. Choose the REST API responses you want to accelerate.
3. Sync JSON snapshots to Smooth Bundle.
4. Use those JSON files from your frontend, app, or external client.

External services

This plugin connects to Smooth Bundle to sync and deliver JSON snapshots outside your WordPress site.

It communicates with Smooth Bundle when you:

• start or complete the account or guest connection flow,
• fetch account or project information needed to show connection, plan, and storage status,
• upload selected JSON snapshots,
• delete previously synced JSON snapshots.

Depending on the action, the plugin may send:

• your site URL and site name,
• authentication data needed to complete the Smooth Bundle login flow,
• account and project identifiers required to manage the connection,
• selected REST API response data that you choose to sync,
• asset paths, filenames, and protection settings used to manage synced files.
