Hugo Introduction #

Overview #

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 a complete site in seconds, often less.

Due to its flexible framework, multilingual support, and powerful taxonomy system, Hugo is widely used to create:

  • Corporate, government, nonprofit, education, news, event, and project sites
  • Documentation sites
  • Image portfolios
  • Landing pages
  • Business, professional, and personal blogs
  • Resumes and CVs

Hugo’s fast asset pipelines include:

  • Image processing – Convert, resize, crop, rotate, adjust colors, apply filters, overlay text and images, and extract EXIF data
  • JavaScript bundling – Transpile TypeScript and JSX to JavaScript, bundle, tree shake, minify, create source maps, and perform SRI hashing.
  • Sass processing – Transpile Sass to CSS, bundle, tree shake, minify, create source maps, perform SRI hashing, and integrate with PostCSS
  • Tailwind CSS processing – Compile Tailwind CSS utility classes into standard CSS, bundle, tree shake, optimize, minify, perform SRI hashing, and integrate with PostCSS
