Content Management System (CMS)
The short answer
A CMS is the software a website is built and edited on — like WordPress, Webflow, or a custom system — letting people update content without writing code directly.
Full explanation
Different CMS platforms handle SEO fundamentals like clean URLs, page speed, and schema markup very differently out of the box, which is why the same content can perform very differently depending on the platform it's published through.
