About this plugin
Headless Deploy Panel for Vercel is for sites that use WordPress as a headless CMS with a front end hosted on Vercel.
- Deploy: start a new deployment with one click, using a Vercel deploy hook.
- Monitor: see your latest deployments and their state, updated while a deployment is running.
- Revalidate: a “Revalidate page” button on posts and pages asks your Next.js site to refresh that page (on-demand revalidation), without a full deployment.
Your Vercel API token, deploy hook and revalidation secret are stored on your server and are only used by WordPress itself. They are never sent to the browser.
This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by Vercel Inc.
Inspired by Vercel Deploy for Strapi.
