Components render exactly as they appear on the frontend, directly in the Block Grid editor.
Set a Top/Bottom component once on a parent and it inherits down the content tree — site-wide headers, CTAs, footers with zero duplication.
Each block component registers its own scripts; they're emitted only when that block is on the page.
📖 See Script Queue documentation for dependency-aware loading (jQuery-dependent vs standalone).
Open Graph, Twitter Card, JSON-LD, hreflang, canonical — all generated automatically from content fields.
Version check, site statistics, audit trail chart, and quick links — all in one backoffice tab.
