I used to love WordPress. Now is too feature heavy for a blog and not flexible enough as a CMS (without a lot of customisation)..I might give Ghost a try, feels a lot like Medium. How about the SEO though?

Interesting read. Last year I wrote a simple blogging platform in PHP myself, in about a week, rather than go through the trouble of integrating Wordpress with the rest of my PHP site. I sometimes wondered how SEO-optimized the result was compared to a full-blown WP install. Feels good to see that I hit all the recommendations in this article... I guess my effort is at least about as good as Ghost then, if not WP.

How does Ghost generate pages for web crawlers? This has always been my hesitation about this sort of platform. Does it pre-render static pages? Or is everything rendered on the server in NodeJS?

It's generated on the server in Node, so no different than what PHP does in case of Wordpress in this aspect.
