{{% note "Use the Hugo Generator Tag" %}}
We highly recommend using `hugo.Generator` in your website's `<head>` . `hugo.Generator` is included by default in all themes hosted on [themes.gohugo.io ](https://themes.gohugo.io ). The generator tag allows the Hugo team to track the usage and popularity of Hugo.
