 You can think of a traditional CMS like an old home built by one person and with custom fittings. Gorgeous, and expensive to maintain, like the home in _The Money Pit_ (1986) with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long.

-To add to [Deane Barker's eloquent explanation in the quote above](https://gadgetopia.com/post/9743), a headless CMS only handles two things--content and managing that content through admin screens.

 ### Faster load times AND cheaper?
 
 With much less time (and therefore less money), you can set up a headless CMS with a presentation layer like GatsbyJS and a CDN and get your site running on edge servers.
 
-The advantage of this method is faster load times for most sites, which can be illustrated by the previous Australia example. Let’s say a person in Australia accesses a US site built with a headless CMS and GatsbyJS; the site can run off of a closer server, so it will load quickly. This is an enormous advantage for both the user and for whomever created the site.

This is an enormous advantage for both the user and for whomever created the site.
 
 Faster load times can be taken to the next level with sites that run offline. I recently chatted with a friend in New Delhi who used GatsbyJS to build his blog to run offline, which is an incredible advantage for commuters who want to read while on public transportation with spotty internet access.
 
 ### Higher quality AND cheaper?
 
-Headless CMSs perform well in scenarios in which a traditional CMS would prove inadequate. I’d like to point to Deane Barker’s [excellent article on use cases for headless CMSs](https://gadgetopia.com/post/9743), from which we've extracted a partial list:

+When businesses specialize in one thing instead of several, they tend to become more time-efficient and can produce things at a lower cost. In human terms, this means that headless CMSs tend to cost you less than traditional CMSs, because they cost less up front or they take you less time to maintain.
