Built a blog & cms with Codex CLI?
We'll make it production-ready.
Blog and CMS platforms live or die by their content delivery — fast page loads, proper SEO, and reliable content editing are non-negotiable. AI tools build beautiful blog layouts quickly, but the infrastructure that makes content discoverable and manageable at scale — structured data, image optimization, draft workflows, and editor permissions — needs professional attention before you publish to the world.
Blog & CMS challenges in Codex CLI apps
Building a blog & cms with Codex CLI is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
SEO and metadata management
Every blog post needs unique meta titles, descriptions, Open Graph images, canonical URLs, and structured data for rich search results. AI tools render the post content but skip the metadata layer that determines whether anyone finds it through Google.
Content editing workflow
Writers need drafts, previews, scheduled publishing, and revision history. AI-generated CMS platforms usually offer a basic text input and a publish button — no draft states, no content scheduling, and no way to revert a bad edit.
Image and media handling
Blog images need to be resized, compressed, served in modern formats (WebP/AVIF), and lazy-loaded. AI tools embed full-resolution images directly, which tanks page speed and eats storage. You need an image pipeline, not just an upload button.
Role-based access for authors and editors
Multi-author blogs need permission tiers — authors write, editors approve, admins manage settings. AI-generated auth is all-or-nothing: you're either logged in with full access or you're a reader. Server-side authorization for content operations is almost always missing.
RSS feeds and content distribution
Readers subscribe via RSS, newsletters pull content automatically, and aggregators index your feed. AI tools don't generate RSS feeds, sitemap.xml files, or the API endpoints that content distribution tools depend on.
Performance at scale
A blog with 10 posts loads fine. A blog with 1,000 posts needs pagination, static generation, incremental builds, and caching to stay fast. AI tools build for the demo, not for two years of weekly publishing.
What we check in your Codex CLI blog & cms
Common Codex CLI issues we fix
Beyond blog & cms-specific issues, these are Codex CLI patterns we commonly fix.
API keys and secrets written directly into generated source files
Codex CLI generates code with placeholder credentials that developers often replace with real values inline, leaving secrets committed to version control. There is no .env scaffolding or secret management setup by default.
No authentication or authorization on generated API endpoints
When Codex generates Express or FastAPI backends, routes are created without middleware for authentication, meaning every endpoint is publicly accessible immediately after deployment.
Single-file output breaks apart for any real project structure
Codex frequently outputs all logic into one or two files rather than organizing code into modules, services, and utilities — making the result hard to maintain and extend as the codebase grows.
Generated code lacks awareness of existing project context
Because Codex operates from a prompt without full codebase indexing, it generates code that duplicates existing utilities, ignores established conventions, and introduces conflicting patterns alongside your real code.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a blog & cms with Codex CLI?
Codex CLI is a great starting point for a blog & cms. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but blog & cms apps have specific requirements — seo and metadata management and content editing workflow — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Codex CLI leave in blog & cms apps?
Common issues include: api keys and secrets written directly into generated source files, no authentication or authorization on generated api endpoints, single-file output breaks apart for any real project structure. For a blog & cms specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for seo and metadata management.
How do I make my Codex CLI blog & cms production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Codex CLI-built blog & cms apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Codex CLI-built blog & cms?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger blog & cms projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
