Hugo

Leaving the comfort zone of Wordpress.com was neither easy nor painless, especially when I discovered that once the site was online, Jekyll was slow, too slow to be usable. Thankfully, Hugo saved the day, although there are still many details to be ironed out, first and foremost the website’s graphic design.

As I was writing about my transition from WordPress to Jekyll, I knew I had to prepare for another change. From a technical point of view, Jekyll is a fantastic platform: it is easy to program, has impeccable documentation, and works perfectly during the development phase, with a limited number of pages and test posts. But, as I experienced firsthand, when Jekyll is asked to handle a real site with hundreds of posts, performance drops dramatically and response times become unbearably slow (and quite embarrassing, too).
