Last modified: October 30th, 2026

Headless Mode is only available for Sites using Unified Configuration. For more information, please read our documentation on migrating to Unified Configuration.

Headless Mode disables hosting and building for your Site.

To enable Headless Mode on your Site:

  1. Navigate to the Details page under Site Settings.
  2. Select the Headless Mode option under Site Building Mode.
  3. Click the Update Details button. CloudCannon will open the Switch to Headless Mode? modal.
  4. Click the Turn off hosting and builds button.

CloudCannon will immediately take down your live Site and prevents any further builds.
