SaaS CMS is slowly becoming a reality for todayās bloggers. Traditional or coupled CMSs, like Ghost or WP, pose challenges for you as an admin. Then there are specific service providers, like bulk email providers, that seem to be teaming up on prices. As an end user and admin, you may find a hosted solution to be a better option, unless you are hosting politically loaded or technically investigative content.
This is why I wrote a not so technical post about why we should stop expecting a truly open core from any coupled CMS with no bloat, presets, or hard-coded settings.
For the requests per second benchmark, is WP with LSCache or nginx still slower? As an experienced admin, what kind of RPS do you get with your Ghost vs. WP configuration?
For some reason RPS benchmark is really slow for me.
Thank you for pointing it out. Since I use Windsurf to help me set up everything, I am using Ghost only as a base which can be customised.
I donāt use the in-built Ghost newsletter tool. I actually use Listmonk which is a life saver and truly open source. I already use Mailgun though.
Ghost is probably interested in keeping the open source part so that it can attract users to the hosted part.
Iām glad that you took the time to highlight this. It also made me wonder what is the future of SEO if every one starts to use AI like Perplexity to skim our content and pay us nothing. Is there going to be a point in creating content. That part was thought provoking. I need to think about this.

I guess people who havenāt administered a Discourse forum before donāt know that we have detailed logs, and can easily see when someone creates multiple user sockpuppet accounts for the 3rdā¦ 4thā¦ or 5th time.
If you really dislike Ghost - please - by all means - move to another platform that you do like instead. There are plenty to choose from.
