I started looking into Hugo as a faster alternative to Jekyll.  Two reasons why you&#x27;d disregard the fact that Hugo doesn&#x27;t have the same support as Jekyll on GitHub pages:<p>1. You&#x27;re dealing with thousands or more pages. Jekyll can be slow as heck passed a few hundreds of posts. Benchmarks [1] show that Hugo is way<p>2. You want to avoid dealing with Ruby. Honestly, every single time I have to install a Ruby app I end up wasting 30 minutes on nonsense (wrong version, dependency hell, ...).<p>There are many things you can try to improve the speed of your Jekyll site (avoid loops, use Javascript to load some elements&#x2F;features, leverage some configuration tricks [2]), but Hugo is just flat out much faster and much easier to deploy.<p>[1]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fredrikloch.me&#x2F;post&#x2F;2014-08-12-Jekyll-and-its-alternatives-from-a-site-generation-point-of-view&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fredrikloch.me&#x2F;post&#x2F;2014-08-12-Jekyll-and-its-alterna...</a>
