97% of people report an increase in their site’s overall performance
"Ever since I switched my blog over to Ghost, the page speed has gone through the roof. Like really. It's just so much faster than I have ever achieved with a WordPress website. Also, writing posts in Ghost is just an amazing experience. It just works."
"I've almost doubled my page views and visits. Performance is really great. Now I have no problems with SSL and CDN."
98% of people say their SEO is the same or better than before
"Ghost has been a truly game-changing product for me. Unlike many other publishing platforms, Ghost supports all components of running a successful online publication, from technical SEO to a surprisingly clean editing interface."
