What is Hugo?

Hugo is a static site generator; it takes in content in the form of Markdown and uses a pre-configured theme to generate HTML from the markdown files. This makes development very fast and the site very lightweight.

From scratch, this website can be built in under 100 ms by Hugo, which means it takes seconds to deploy a new version of the website.

Why Hugo?

There are many reasons to use Hugo as a static site generator:

Fast: As mentioned previously, Hugo is incredibly fast. It can build a website in a matter of seconds which makes it perfect for rapid development and prototyping.
Easy to learn: Hugo's syntax and configuration are easy to understand and learn, making it accessible even for beginners.
Flexible: You have full control over how your site looks and feels with the ability to customize themes or create new ones. This makes it perfect for developers who want to build unique websites without spending a lot of time on design.
Scalable: With its speed and ease of use, Hugo can handle large websites with hundreds of pages without slowing down.
Free and Open Source: Hugo is completely free to use and open source, so you can customize it however you like or contribute back to the project if you feel inclined.
