<h2>Overview:</h2>
<p>Next CMS Ghost is a React frontend for headless Ghost CMS that allows users to create and publish blogs quickly. It combines the speed and performance of static and server-rendered sites while providing global distribution capabilities. Content creators can continue to use the familiar Ghost authoring system, making it convenient for teams already working with Ghost.</p>
<h2>Features:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Performance (Lighthouse Score)</strong>: Next CMS Ghost provides optimized performance, with scores calculated using Lighthouse 6.4.0.</li>
<li><strong>NextJS image optimizations</strong>: The theme automatically optimizes images, but when deploying to Netlify, image optimization is disabled.</li>
<li><strong>Domain Settings</strong>: Users can set the SITE_URL environment variable to their site's public facing URL. If not specified, defaults are used based on the platform (Vercel or Netlify) or set to http://localhost:3000 in other cases.</li>

<li><strong>Deployment</strong>: Deploying to Vercel is recommended for best results, but Netlify is also supported.</li>
<li><strong>Headless Mode</strong>: For better SEO results, it is recommended to disable the default Ghost Handlebars theme frontend by selecting the "Make this site private" flag within the Ghost admin settings.</li>
