Why GhostChat Fits Ghost Sites
As lightweight as Ghost itself
You chose Ghost because it's fast and minimal. Our widget is ~15KB — 10–20x smaller than typical chat tools — and won't undo your site speed.
AI chatbot included
Optional AI assistant answers reader and customer questions 24/7 from your FAQ knowledge base, and hands off to you when a human is needed.
No cookie banner needed
Zero tracking, zero cookies. If your Ghost site doesn't need a consent banner today, adding GhostChat keeps it that way.
Survives theme switches
Code Injection is theme-independent. Change from Casper to Source to a custom theme — the widget stays, no re-install.
Common Questions
Does this work on Ghost(Pro) hosted sites?
Yes. Code Injection is available on every Ghost(Pro) plan and on self-hosted Ghost. No server access or theme editing needed.
Will it work with my Ghost theme?
Yes — Casper, Source, Dawn, or any custom theme. The widget is a single script tag that loads independently of your theme.
Can the chatbot answer questions automatically?
Yes. GhostChat includes an optional AI assistant: it answers visitor questions 24/7 from an FAQ knowledge base you control, and hands the conversation to you when a human is needed. Learn more about the AI chatbot →
Will it slow down my Ghost site?
No. At ~15KB it's 10–20x smaller than most chat tools, and it loads deferred — it never blocks your page render or hurts Core Web Vitals.
Is GhostChat made by Ghost (ghost.org)?
No — GhostChat is an independent product and is not affiliated with the Ghost Foundation or ghost.org. The similar name is a coincidence. It installs on Ghost sites the same way as any chat or analytics script: via Code Injection.
Now with a built-in AI chatbot. GhostChat can auto-answer your visitors’questions 24/7 from your FAQ knowledge base — and hand off to you when it doesn't know. See the AI chatbot →
