## 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. |
```

**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`][partialCached] template function provides
caching capabilities for `partial` templates.
{{% tip %}}
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.

## Step Analysis
Hugo provides a means of seeing metrics about each step in the site build
process. We call that *Step Analysis*. The *step analysis* output shows the
total time per step, the cumulative time after each step (in parentheses),
the memory usage per step, and the total memory allocations per step.
To enable *step analysis*, use the `--stepAnalysis` option when running Hugo.
