It also offers structured SEO support, including generation of alt text, captions, and slugs, as well as dedicated hero metadata fields with AI generation support. Multilingual content support is another standout feature, with translation into over 75 languages and faster translation and retranslation workflows. Lastly, Paragraph CMS provides developer-oriented delivery features, such as a global CDN, edge caching, image optimization, and official SDKs for seamless integration.",
