Ghost sites has a timer, so you'll most of the time not have enough time to do more than two hacks and then gtfo.

You need fast and agile ship to do more than 2.

Are you sure? Does that mean that warping in cloaked can save you some "timer time" (at the expense of actual time, I suppose)?

Yes, that seems to be true.

This.

Best case scenario, you'll have about 5 minutes. If you can, fly a cov ops and warp in cloaked. I understand the timer doesn't start to run until you de-cloak. As such, warp in, get into a central location (preferably in range of at least 2 cans). De-cloak and start locking/scanning fast. Pick the 2 best cans and do those. Then leave.

If you're not in a cov ops, burn towards the cans and scan on the way. Make sure your MWD is active for only 1 cycle or you risk slingshotting out of range of a can and failing the hack... then dying horribly.

You only slingshot if you orbit. Never been bounced out of range by failing to turn off MWD. Also in HS you can tank the explosion even with frigate, so I wouldn't dramatize it so much.
