Yes, ghost has really good support for SEO. There are built-in XML sitemaps, Google AMP pages, canonical tags, optimised URLs, microformats, Facebook Open Graph tags, support for Twitter cards and clean semantic markup. Here are some working examples of Ghost Blogs: [https://ghost.org/customers/](https://ghost.org/customers/) As for speed, Ghost is really fast, but your site speed depends on other factors as well: your server, the theme you are using (optimized assets, js, css, images) just to name a few. With a few optimizations you can achive great performance. [96% Google PageSpeed Score](https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=voice.bironthemes.com&tab=desktop) ---

Ghost is indeed good for SEO. The only problem that I see, that you probably saw too in Google PageSpeed Insights, is that your images are not properly formatted. That is because when you have a loop of posts you still have to show the full image. You can’t use a thumbnail or resized image of the original one. The rest is nice: - [Accelerated Mobile Pages](https://themes.ghost.org/docs/amp). - [Meta Data](https://blog.ghost.org/post-meta/), [Twitter Card and Facebook Card](https://blog.ghost.org/structured-data/) that you can easly set for each post. - [JSON-LD Structured Data](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data) - RSS feed to make your feeds easily discoverable by external readers - [sitemap.xml](https://blog.ghost.org/xml-sitemaps/) The rest is up to you how you optimize your theme and images. Compress them with [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com/), make them the right size. ---

Well the broser only resize it visually but the image is still huge. You can vote for Ghost Media Library if you want. The more votes the better. > [@Better image/file management & optimisation](https://forum.ghost.org/t/media-library-manage-all-files-in-one-place/675): > > A nice thing to see in the future would be a place to manage all your photos and files that you upload.

Correct. The feature image being scaled down like 80% size to becomes a thumbnail on the homepage is the main culprit for me. I didn’t realize a Media Browser could resolve this issue? Would be awesome if our posts had a “thumbnail” upload and a “main image” upload so we could offer both for different purposes. ---

Ghost is simply a platform. It depends how good is your theme. Your theme can be responsive and look good on mobile, or it could look bad. Nothing to do with Ghost. You can still register a service worker from your theme. ---

> [@Jehan\_Musa](#): > > considering it does not have service worker Service Worker support is still extremely finikey in browsers; iOS either just recently or is about to get _basic_ sw support. Additionally, as @HauntedThemes said, themes can register their own SW. Additionally, SWs are mostly used to create PWAs (of course, that’s not the only thing they’re limited to) which isn’t a requirement for a site to be functional on mobile ---

Yes, you can. You can register a Service Worker on any theme you want. Here is a nice website that does a nice introduction on Service Worker. A lot of examples too: [https://serviceworke.rs/](https://serviceworke.rs/) ---
