Jekyll VS Hexo

Jekyll

Jekyll is a static site generator that is open source and free. Jekyll may be used to create websites with robust and user-friendly navigation, much like a content management system (like Drupal and WordPress).

Without a database or any server-side code, Jekyll enables you to dynamically create a website or blog and then serve it statically.


This indicates that the finished product is quite effective, especially for blogs with large traffic, while typical dynamic blogging systems like WordPress require several tricks and optimization strategies to function well.

Hexo

Hexo is a Node.js based static site generator that is quick, easy, and effective. It supports several themes and plugins for customization and enables you to produce static sites from source files, including Markdown.

Organizing and structuring material is made simple with built-in support for tags, categories, and pagination. Live reloading and a built-in development server in Hexo let you preview changes as they happen.

Hexo is a flexible static site generator since it is simple to combine with other programs like Google Analytics, Disqus, and others. It is well-liked by developers who need a quick and simple solution to build a blog or documentation website.
