Blog CMS guide

FastStaq includes a full blog with a rich editor, scheduling, categories, SEO, and an RSS feed, so you can run content marketing without a separate CMS.

Writing posts

• Compose posts in the rich-text (TipTap) editor with headings, images, embeds, and code blocks.
• Save drafts while you work and preview before publishing.
• Add a cover image, an excerpt, and a slug for the post URL.

Categories and tags

Organize posts with categories and tags so readers can browse related content and so your archive pages stay tidy.

Scheduling and publishing

• Publish immediately, or schedule a post to go live at a future time.
• Unpublishing returns a post to draft and removes it from public listings.

Revisions

Posts keep a revision history so you can see what changed and restore an earlier version if needed.

SEO and syndication

• Set per-post SEO title and description and Open Graph image for clean social sharing.
• An RSS feed is generated automatically for subscribers and aggregators.
• Public blog pages are server-rendered for search engines.

ISR revalidation (optional)

If you serve blog pages with incremental static regeneration, FastStaq can ping your front-end to revalidate after publish/unpublish. Configure FRONTEND_REVALIDATE_URL and REVALIDATION_SECRET to enable it.

View counting

Post views are de-duplicated per viewer per day using a salted hash (BLOG_VIEW_SALT), so your view counts are honest rather than inflated by refreshes.
