Behind the scenes it&#x27;s just running the usual packages for templates, markdown, minification etc., so for a fresh build it&#x27;s about as fast as any typical grunt-based setup. But AFAICT it correctly detects when things don&#x27;t need to be regenerated, so incremental builds are quite fast no matter what, unless you&#x27;re editing templates.<p>I recently converted my wordpress blog to hexo and blogged about it, if you&#x27;re interested:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;aphall.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;migrating-wordpress-to-static&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;aphall.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;migrating-wordpress-to-static&#x2F;</a>
