Chris Wiegman recently migrated to Hugo and is already:
1️⃣ Sharing tips on better responsive images
2️⃣ Turning his new Hugo site into a theme

Tested a bunch of static site frameworks and settled on Hugo (gohugo.io) built with Go. Turns out, it’s the simplest option for deploying a personal blog or notebook. Plus, Hugo is insanely fast! Traffic and affiliate marketers, take note! 😊 basyliq.fyi/cookbook/hugo2do…
Our last meetup of 2024 rocked🤘
We enjoyed listening to Advaith, Anandu, Richi, and Ramees. The accompanying discussions on the subjects of their talks were fun and meaningful.
There were 7 meetups this year in all.
We'll see everyone next in 2025!
A nod to @GoHugoIO in the Web Almanac chapter on Jamstack: as far as we can tell, it's still the most-used SSG among pre-rendered sites. (Though Next.js is catching up...)

The Web Almanac Report is back this year — 16.9M websites tested, and 83TB of data processed — and it’s fascinating reading. Thanks to @mikeneumegen, @thomkrupa and @guaca for their work on the Jamstack chapter, leaving very little actual editing for me 😅 almanac.httparchive.org/en/2…
Looking purely at JavaScript shipped (median, mobile again), we can see how wide the gap is between Astro/Hugo (164/210KB respectively) and Next (583KB).
The biggest overall take, though, is the 67% rise in prerendered / hybrid approaches in the top 10k high-traffic sites. Over 12% of the popular sites use these approaches. As @mikeneumegen sums up, "Given how much of the web is inherently static, this trend is promising."
ALT Given how much of the web is inherently static, this trend is promising. By adopting a static-first model and limiting dynamic rendering to dynamic content, the web could not only be faster, and lighter weight, but also significantly more environmentally friendly.
