What is the purpose of a 'Read more separator' in a blog post?

The purpose of a 'Read more separator' in a blog post is to define the short form content that appears on the homepage (or in feed lists) while allowing readers to access the full content by clicking through. This feature is particularly useful in a CMS like HubSpot, as it helps in managing how much content is displayed at first glance. By using a 'Read more separator,' only a snippet of the article is shown, making the homepage uncluttered and easier to navigate for visitors. This approach invites readers to engage with the content they find interesting, thereby improving user experience and potentially increasing page views and time spent on the site.
