Built-in features for SEO, search, and more

Hwaro ships with a comprehensive set of built-in features — no plugins required. All features are configured through config.toml and work out of the box once enabled.

At a Glance

SEO & Discovery — Sitemap, RSS/Atom feeds, robots.txt, OpenGraph, Twitter Cards, structured data (JSON-LD), and auto-generated OG images.

Content — Syntax highlighting, search index generation, pagination, markdown extensions (footnotes, task lists, math, mermaid), series, related posts, and named navigation menus.

Performance — Incremental builds, streaming builds for large sites, asset pipeline with minification and fingerprinting, image processing with responsive variants and LQIP placeholders, and cache busting.

Files & Environment — Environment variables, environment-specific config overrides, auto-includes for CSS/JS, and content file publishing.

Platform — Multilingual support, image processing, PWA, AMP, and built-in deployment to multiple targets.
