Fast, flexible static site generator built with Go
Hugo is a high-performance static site generator with advanced templating, multilingual support, and fast asset pipelines that renders complete sites in seconds.
Hugo is a static site generator written in Go, optimized for speed and designed for flexibility. With its advanced templating system and fast asset pipelines, Hugo renders complete sites in seconds, making it ideal for developers who value performance and efficiency.
Hugo powers corporate, government, nonprofit, education, news, and event sites, as well as documentation sites, image portfolios, landing pages, blogs, and resumes. Its flexible framework, multilingual support, and powerful taxonomy system make it suitable for projects of any scale.
Hugo includes an embedded web server for instant development feedback, comprehensive image processing (convert, resize, crop, filters, EXIF extraction), JavaScript bundling with TypeScript/JSX support, Sass and Tailwind CSS processing, and Hugo Modules for sharing content and templates across projects via Git repositories. Available in three editions—standard, extended, and extended/deploy—Hugo offers core functionality or advanced features like WebP encoding, LibSass transpilation, and direct cloud deployment to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Storage.
When teams consider Hugo, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

The standard edition provides core functionality. The extended edition adds WebP encoding and LibSass transpilation. The extended/deploy edition includes direct deployment to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Storage.
Hugo renders complete sites in seconds, often less, thanks to Go's performance. Build times are significantly faster than Node.js-based generators for medium to large sites.
Yes. Hugo uses Go templates for theming, but you don't need Go programming knowledge. Many pre-built themes are available, and template syntax is learnable for content creators.
Yes. Hugo includes built-in Tailwind CSS processing with tree shaking, minification, and PostCSS integration, eliminating the need for separate Node.js build tools.
Hugo Modules let you share content, assets, themes, templates, and configuration across projects via public or private Git repositories, enabling modular site architecture and component reuse.
