HubSpot CMS functionalities for IT

That a CMS works optimally for marketers is crucial for marketing success, but IT also places demands on a content management system. And rightly so! On this page, read more about HubSpot CMS functionalities that are important for IT professionals.

Security

Firewall

HubSpot's firewall (WAF) detects potential attacks even before they pose a threat to the website. Malicious IP addresses are blocked at an early stage and there is protection for DDoS attacks.

SSL

HubSpot comes standard with an SSL certificate from CloudFlare. Need a custom SSL certificate? No problem, HubSpot provides support for this.

HubSpot security team

HubSpot's security team ensures the security of your data. Using automated and manual checks, they monitor the servers 24 hours a day for attacks and other forms of abuse. The CMS is continuously updated to keep the system as secure as possible.

Reliability & accessibility

CDN

All content is made available through HubSpot's global CDN. This guarantees an uptime of 99.99%. Should one data center unexpectedly fail, the closest center immediately catches the traffic without any downtime.

A custom CDN is possible on HubSpot CMS Enterprise, giving you full control over the configuration of the network.

Reversed proxy Support.

By default, a HubSpot website is hosted on HubSpot servers. Prefer to manage the hosting yourself? No problem. CMS Enterprise features Reversed Proxy Support that allows you to easily host content on any (suitable) external server.

Speed

Performance API

We don't have to tell you how important website performance is. With HubSpot, you monitor and improve performance using your own custom dashboards. Use the performance API to find errors, or find out which areas of the website get the most traffic or experience slow load times.

Image optimization

When rendering the page, images are automatically scaled by HubSpot CMS.

JavaScript & CSS optimization.

HubSpot automatically removes unnecessary spaces, line breaks and comments from JavaScript files. In the CSS area, HubSpot uses Minifying and combines CSS files for faster load times.

Page caching

HubSpot uses page caching on the server and browser side to reduce load times. When a page or template is modified the cache is automatically emptied for the affected pages, so visitors always see the most up-to-date version of the page.

HTTP/2

HubSpot CMS uses the HTTP/2 protocol to avoid latency and make better use of network and server capacity.

Manageability & scalability

User roles

HubSpot CMS lets you control user permissions down to the detail level. Grant individual users permissions or bulk permissions for a group of users within a given role.

With the Enterprise version of HubSpot CMS, create different teams to ensure that content from different countries or business units is only visible within their own teams.

Activity logs

Get detailed reports on how pages, modules and other items are modified by users of the CMS. With HubSpot, you always have visibility into what content has been changed, what has been changed, and who made the change.

System pages

Don't worry about necessary website pages anymore. HubSpot provides automatic sign-up pages, search results pages and error pages that you change as you see fit.
