Website installation

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Choose site-wide or page placement

    Use an HTML card in a page or post for an exact content location. Use Settings and Code Injection Footer when the seal should be site-wide.

  2. 2

    Paste the embed

    Paste the Recommended JavaScript embed without wrapping it in another script element.

  3. 3

    Publish the change

    Update the page or save code injection, then restart or clear a managed cache only if your Ghost hosting requires it.

  4. 4

    Check the certificate

    Open the published page and click the seal to confirm the registered hostname and current status.

Use the unique callback code displayed on the customer order. Never reuse a code from another domain or application.

  1. 1

    On self-hosted Ghost, create /.well-known/verifyseal.txt in the public web root or web-server configuration.

  2. 2

    On managed Ghost, use the homepage meta-tag method through Header Code Injection.

  3. 3

    Confirm the final public homepage source contains the exact meta name and callback content.
