Template metrics

Hugo is a very fast static site generator, but it is possible to write inefficient templates. Hugo's template metrics feature is extremely helpful in pinpointing which templates are executed most often and how long those executions take in terms of CPU time.

Metric Name Description
cumulative duration The cumulative time spent executing a given template.
average duration The average time spent executing a given template.
maximum duration The maximum time a single execution took for a given template.
count The number of times a template was executed.
template The template name.

{{% note %}} A note about parallelism

Hugo builds pages in parallel where multiple pages are generated simultaneously. Because of this parallelism, the sum of "cumulative duration" values is usually greater than the actual time it takes to build a site. {{% /note %}}

Cached partials

Some partial templates such as sidebars or menus are executed many times during a site build. Depending on the content within the partial template and the desired output, the template may benefit from caching to reduce the number of executions. The partialCached template function provides caching capabilities for partial templates.

{{% note %}} Note that you can create cached variants of each partial by passing additional parameters to partialCached beyond the initial context. See the partialCached documentation for more details. {{% /note %}}
