I think the build time is the least factor to take in consideration.
I choose Jekyll some time ago because:
- it was supported by github
- the plain website generated was much FASTER than anything with a database (WP I'm talking at you)
- as a developer I could mess with HTML and JS wasily
Build time is important at development time, when I'm programming some new feature, and I have to wait 1-2 seconds before refreshing the page. If those changes take 20 seconds, well, that's a horrible development experience.
So, for now, I'll definitely give Hugo a try (didn't even know) but we do websites for people and we should only care that the website is fast, nice and easy for them.
- sgallant 9y agoI 100% agree that there are many factors to take into account. Liquid templating is a huge benefit of Jekyll, for example. This article was just looking at build times and we'll put another one out soon looking at other factors.
