{{% 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](http://themes.gohugo.io). The generator tag allows the Hugo team to track the usage and popularity of Hugo.
