About Hugo

The world’s fastest framework for building websites. Hugo is one of the most popular open-source static site generators. With its amazing speed and flexibility, Hugo makes building websites fun again. Hugo is the fastest tool of its kind. At <1 ms per page, the average site builds in less than a second. Hugo supports unlimited content types, taxonomies, menus, dynamic API-driven content, and more, all without plugins. We love the beautiful simplicity of markdown’s syntax, but there are times when we want more flexibility. Hugo shortcodes allow for both beauty and flexibility. Hugo ships with pre-made templates to make quick work of SEO, commenting, analytics and other functions. One line of code, and you're done. Hugo provides full i18n support for multi-language sites with the same straightforward development experience Hugo users love in single-language sites. Hugo allows you to output your content in multiple formats, including JSON or AMP, and makes it easy to create your own.
