The Most Performant WordPress Builder

Clutch creates blazing-fast sites using modern headless architecture without requiring plugins, CDNs, or complex configuration. By separating the frontend from WordPress, we achieve dramatically better performance. No other visual builder or theme comes close.

The Proof is in the PageSpeed

Don't take our word for it. Compare Google PageSpeed scores yourself.

Peak performance without plugins

Get lightning-fast page loads without extra caching plugins or CDNs like Cloudflare. Powered by Next.js and running on Vercel's edge network, Clutch automatically optimizes your site and keeps your content fresh. No configuration necessary.

Hosted on the edge for fast global delivery

Unlike traditional cloud hosting which serves your site from a single location, Clutch uses Vercel's global edge network to serve content from over 100 locations worldwide, giving your visitors dramatically faster load times.

Automatic Asset Optimization

All of these optimizations happen automatically at build and request time through Next.js, eliminating the need for WordPress optimization plugins while delivering better performance.

Images

Images are automatically optimized, resized, and served in modern formats like WebP. Next.js handles responsive images and lazy loading out of the box, ensuring fast page loads without sacrificing visual quality.

Server-Side Rendering

Next.js's powerful SSR capabilities mean pages are pre-rendered on the server, delivering fully formed HTML to users instantly. This improves both performance and SEO while reducing client-side JavaScript overhead.

Prefetching

Clutch leverages Next.js Link prefetching to preload linked pages as they appear in the viewport. This means visitors experience instant navigation and a smooth, app-like feel without any configuration needed.

Incremental Static Regeneration

Pages are statically generated and automatically updated when content changes, combining the speed of static sites with the dynamism of server-rendered content. This means blazing-fast page loads while keeping content fresh.

Fonts

Fonts are automatically optimized and loaded efficiently:

Subsets only required characters
Preloads critical fonts
Prevents layout shift during loading
Enables variable fonts support

Scripts

JavaScript and CSS are automatically optimized:

  • Code splitting and bundling
  • Tree shaking to remove unused code
  • Minification and compression
  • Dynamic imports for better load times

Shared layouts, snappier pages

Clutch preserves your site's permanent elements—like headers and footers—while only updating necessary content between pages. This means faster loading times for visitors since only new content needs downloading. Navigation feels smooth and app-like without full page refreshes, and your site consumes less bandwidth, improving efficiency for both you and your visitors.

Optimized Loading Strategy

Smart page rendering combines static generation, server-side rendering, and client-side hydration to deliver the fastest possible experience for every type of content

Perfect Core Web Vitals

Next.js's advanced optimizations ensure your site achieves perfect scores for Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) - the key metrics Google uses to evaluate site performance.

Harness the Power of Headless

Clutch gives professional creators complete design and functional freedom while delivering superior performance with fewer plugins.

Fewer Maintenance Headaches

With Clutch, features like forms, maps, and analytics connect directly to the services they require—reducing the number of WordPress plugins you need to manage, update, and troubleshoot.

Update WordPress Confidently

Experience worry-free WordPress updates without needing to test dozens of plugin compatibility issues or worry about breaking your site.

Improved security icon

Improved Security

Fewer plugins means fewer security vulnerabilities. Clutch enhances security further by separating the admin interface from the public site, creating a smaller attack surface that's harder to discover.

Extend with Code

Create custom React components, data queries, form actions, and helper functions. In Clutch, you’re never limited by what’s built in.

Queries

Write custom queries using TypeScript to fetch and transform data from any source. Whether you need to integrate with external APIs, connect to databases, or implement complex data processing logic, Clutch gives you complete control over data fetching while maintaining type safety.

Code

Build anything imaginable using TypeScript and React. With full access to the npm ecosystem and complete coding freedom, there are no limits to what you can create. Every feature that can be built in code can be turned into a Clutch component with visual controls, letting you seamlessly blend custom functionality with Clutch's visual builder interface. Whether you need complex animations, data visualizations, third-party integrations, or completely custom features - if you can code it, you can build it in Clutch.

Actions

Add powerful custom functionality to your forms with TypeScript. Connect to any service, add advanced validation rules, or implement complex business logic - all while keeping your sensitive data secure.

Import NPM Libraries

Leverage the entire NPM ecosystem to extend your site's functionality. Add interactive animations with Lottie or Rive, enhance your UI with popular icon sets like Material Icons or Phosphor, integrate data visualization libraries like Chart.js or D3, or incorporate any of the thousands of other NPM packages available.

Automatic Designer Interface

Clutch reads your code and automatically generates an intuitive visual interface. This means developers can work in code while designers get a familiar visual builder experience - no compromise needed between powerful functionality and ease of use.

Code with Your Favorite Editor and AI

Use VS Code, Cursor, or any other code editor to extend Clutch. Take advantage of AI-powered code assistants like GitHub Copilot to accelerate development.

“I would argue that Etch is easily superior”

@thekevingearyFounder of Etch

@naldogmouraApr 10, 2025

@user-ev6fj5up9wApr 13, 2025

@samanenApr 13, 2025
