Is Ghost a good CMS?

Yes, Ghost is a good CMS if your site is built around publishing. It runs on Node.js, ships a clean editor, and includes memberships and newsletters without plugins. It powers plenty of large developer and startup blogs.

It is also noticeably faster than WordPress in a default install. There is no plugin stack to bloat pages, so load times stay low and maintenance is close to zero.

WordPress still wins on flexibility. If you need ecommerce, complex page builders, or thousands of plugins, choose WordPress. If you mostly write and want speed, Ghost is the better tool. SEO basics are built in either way.

If you publish on Ghost, BlazeHive writes and publishes daily SEO content to Ghost for you.
