[](https://hackmd.io/W75_OulMQe66IZOjLz9VhQ)

Hugo is a fast and modern static site generator written in Go, and designed to make website creation fun again.(Hugo是一種用Go語言編寫的快速，現代的靜態網站生成器，旨在讓網站創建再次變得有趣)。

Hugo is a general-purpose website framework. Technically speaking, Hugo is a [static site generator](https://gohugo.io/about/benefits/). Unlike systems that dynamically build a page with each visitor request, Hugo builds pages when you create or update your content. Since websites are viewed far more often than they are edited, Hugo is designed to provide an optimal viewing experience for your website’s end users and an ideal writing experience for website authors.(Hugo是一個通用的網站框架。從技術上講，Hugo是[靜態站點生成器](https://gohugo.io/about/benefits/)。與根據每個訪問者請求動態構建頁面的系統不同，Hugo在創建或更新內容時會構建頁面。由於瀏覽網站的頻率遠遠高於編輯網站，因此Hugo旨在為您的網站的最終用戶提供最佳的觀看體驗，並為網站作者提供理想的寫作體驗)。

Websites built with Hugo are extremely fast and secure. Hugo sites can be hosted anywhere, including [Netlify](https://netlify.com/), [Heroku](https://www.heroku.com/), [GoDaddy](https://www.godaddy.com/), [DreamHost](https://www.dreamhost.com/), [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/), [GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/features/pages/), [Surge](https://surge.sh/), [Aerobatic](https://www.aerobatic.com/), [Firebase](https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/), [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/), [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/), [Rackspace](https://www.rackspace.com/cloud/files), [Azure](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-static-website), and [CloudFront](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/) and work well with CDNs. Hugo sites run without the need for a database or dependencies on expensive runtimes like Ruby, Python, or PHP.(使用Hugo構建的網站非常快速和安全。Hugo站點可以託管在任何地方，包括[Netlify](https://netlify.com/)，[Heroku](https://www.heroku.com/)，[GoDaddy](https://www.godaddy.com/)，[DreamHost](https://www.dreamhost.com/)，[GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/)，[GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/features/pages/)，[Surge](https://surge.sh/)，[Aerobatic](https://www.aerobatic.com/)，[Firebase](https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/)，[Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/)，[Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/)，[Rackspace](https://www.rackspace.com/cloud/files)，[Azure](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-static-website)和[CloudFront，](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/)並且可以與CDN很好地協作。Hugo網站的運行無需數據庫，也無需依賴昂貴的運行時（如Ruby，Python或PHP）)。

We think of Hugo as the ideal website creation tool with nearly instant build times, able to rebuild whenever a change is made.(我們認為Hugo是理想的網站創建工具，幾乎可以立即構建，並且可以在進行更改時立即進行重建)。
