We were looking to rewrite our WordPress site as a static site last year in the hopes of reducing dev and hosting costs. Our prelim research led us to Hugo but our discussion [1] with them, including a founder of Netlify, led us to sticking with WordPress since we have over 2M posts and can get 1,000+ new posts a day which would lead to a overly-complicated build process and delay publishing posts.
