"For a guy who left WordPress to go to Next and Webflow, this makes me want to go back to WordPress. This looks amazing."

"I'm a pro Webflow developer, and I hate how much extra code they add to their CSS or JS when you won't use them most of the time. I love this, Sold! RIP WebFlow."

Granular Components
Clutch Library is built with fully transparent, non-black-box components. Every element—from buttons to accordions—can be opened, inspected, and styled with total precision. You’re not locked into rigid presets or opinionated abstractions; instead, you get deep access to each nested part of a component.

Base Elements
Customize every detail of Clutch's minimally-styled, fully-accessible, and ultra-granular base elements.
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.

Google Sheets integration is coming soon to Clutch. When available, it will allow direct form submissions to spreadsheets without plugins, ensuring real-time data connectivity.

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
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.
