What is Hugo

Hugo is a static website generator written in Go, known for its extremely fast build speed. Unlike dynamic CMS platforms like WordPress, Hugo generates all pages as static HTML files before deployment, resulting in lightning-fast performance and enhanced security.

Advantages of Hugo

Blazing Fast: Large sites build in seconds
Simple to Use: Easy installation and configuration
Cross-Platform: Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux
High Performance: Static files cache perfectly on CDNs
Secure: No database, significantly reduced attack surface

macOS

brew install hugo

Linux

sudo apt install hugo
