## Why Doks?
|
|
|
|
Nine reasons why you should use Doks:
|
|
|
|
1. __Security aware__. Get A+ scores on [Mozilla Observatory](https://observatory.mozilla.org/analyze/doks.netlify.app) out of the box. Easily change the default Security Headers to suit your needs.
|
|
|
|
2. __Fast by default__. Get 100 scores on [Google Lighthouse](https://googlechrome.github.io/lighthouse/viewer/?gist=7731347bb8ce999eff7428a8e763b637) by default. Doks removes unused css, prefetches links, and lazy loads images.
|
|
|
|
3. __SEO-ready__. Use sensible defaults for structured data, open graph, and Twitter cards. Or easily change the SEO settings to your liking.
|
|
|
|
4. __Development tools__. Code with confidence. Check styles, scripts, and markdown for errors and fix automatically or manually.
|
|
|
|
5. __Bootstrap framework__. Build robust, flexible, and intuitive websites with Bootstrap. Or use any other front-end framework if you prefer.
|
|
|
|
6. __Netlify-ready__. Deploy to Netlify with sensible defaults. Easily use Netlify Functions, Netlify Redirects, and Netlify Headers.
|
|
|
|
7. __Full text search__. Search your Doks site with FlexSearch. Easily customize index settings and search options to your liking.
|
|
|
|
8. __Page layouts__. Build pages with a landing page, blog, or documentation layout. Add custom sections and components to suit your needs.
|
|
|
|
9. __Dark mode__. Switch to a low-light UI with the click of a button. Change colors with variables to match your branding.
