Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose ACF Pro over page builders like Elementor or Divi?

Page builders inject thousands of lines of unnecessary CSS, JavaScript, and nested div wrappers, resulting in slow load times and difficult maintenance. ACF builds native, clean templates and Gutenberg blocks that load in under 1 second, achieve 100/100 PageSpeed scores, and are impossible for editors to break.

Can our marketing team still create custom landing pages with ACF?

Yes! With ACF Flexible Content and ACF Blocks, marketing teams can add, reorder, configure, and customize pre-approved design sections freely while staying strictly within brand guidelines.

Can ACF data be queried via Headless WordPress APIs?

Yes. ACF Pro integrates natively with the WordPress REST API and WPGraphQL (via WPGraphQL for ACF), making it ideal for powering Next.js and React frontends.
