Written in GoLang for speed, Hugo is significantly faster than most
other static site generators.
A typical website of moderate size can be
rendered in a fraction of a second. A good rule of thumb is that Hugo
takes around 1 millisecond for each piece of content.
It's so fast that it will render the site in
less time than it takes to switch to your browser and reload.
Hugo is made to be very flexible. Define your own content types. Define your own indexes. Build your own templates, shortcodes and more. It is written to work well with any kind of website including blogs, tumbles and docs.
Hugo runs everywhere. Sites generated with Hugo work on every web server without any special configuration. Hugo removes all the cruft of building a site allowing you to focus on writing great content.
