The Hidden Cost of Click-Heavy Workflows in Ghost CMS

Every unnecessary click costs money. Not metaphorically—literally. Let's get specific about what each click actually costs your business.

The True Cost of a Click

• Average click + page load: 3 seconds
• Hourly rate for content manager: €50
• Cost per click: €0.042
• 1,000 extra clicks per week: €42
• Annual cost: €2,184

That's just one person. Scale it to a team of five? €10,920 per year. On clicking.

Anatomy of Ghost's Click Tax
