Lightweight SEO Planner: A Case Study for WordPress around Decoupled Architecture

Our internal SEO Planner project exemplifies how a decoupled architecture can provide agile, scalable solutions for content-driven platforms like WordPress. By separating the frontend and backend, we enable independent development and deployment, leading to improved performance and flexibility.

A key feature of this architecture is the implementation of OAuth 2.0 authentication using Passport.js. This approach delegates authentication responsibilities to a dedicated service, enhancing security and simplifying user management. By integrating Passport.js with our Node.js API, we facilitate secure and seamless authentication flows, allowing users to access SEO tools without compromising their credentials.

How It Works

The SEO Planner is built using a modular structure:

• Backend: KeystoneJS manages core business logic and interacts with a Postgres database.
• Authentication Backend: Express manages the authentication logic with Passport.js, OAuth, JWT
• Frontend: A mobile-friendly Next.js UI connects directly with users.
• API Layer: A Node.js service fetches SEO data from WordPress and serves it to both backend and frontend layers.
