Freshland for Sweden is a modern headless eCommerce solution created by
decoupling the frontend from WordPress and WooCommerce. By rebuilding the
frontend using Next.js with server-side rendering (SSR), the platform now offers
improved speed, SEO performance, and user experience. This farm-to-table
shopping experience is now faster, more reliable, and better optimized for
search engines.
