- <meta name="generator" content="Ghost 5.x">
- Asset paths under /assets/built/ and /content/images/
- A portal script from unpkg or the site's own /public/cards.min.js
- An RSS feed at /rss/ with Ghost's default structure
What Ghost means for SEO
- Ghost's defaults are unusually good: canonical tags, Open Graph, structured data and AMP-free clean HTML come out of the box.
- Tag pages are indexable and can go thin quickly if tags are used loosely.
- The members/portal script is the main third-party weight on an otherwise light page.
- Image handling supports responsive sizes only if the theme requests them; older themes serve originals.
