Jekyll VS Hugo

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.

Hugo

Hugo is a go-based static site generator that is quick and up-to-date, and it was created with the goal of reviving the pleasure of building websites. Hugo is a multifunctional website framework.

Hugo offers a library of themes and site layouts that have previously been created by other users. After downloading a theme, you can begin creating your content. You may compose your content in Hugo using a variety of forms.

With the help of our static site generator, websites may be created very rapidly and securely. They provide consumers a flexible alternative to test out because they may be hosted anywhere.
