Hugo

Hugo is one of the world’s most popular open-source static site generators (SSGs), written in the Go programming language. It is renowned for its blazing-fast build speeds, often rendering even large, complex websites in a fraction of a second. Hugo takes content written in markdown, processes it through a powerful templating engine, and generates a complete, ready-to-deploy static website (HTML, CSS, JS). Its robust feature set includes a built-in asset pipeline (Hugo Pipes), flexible content and data modeling, and native support for fetching content from external APIs, making it a versatile tool for everything from simple blogs to large corporate websites.
