Hugo VS WordPress

At one point though I realized there is a scaling problem with my build minutes. I knew that golang has considerably faster builds and in my case the easy fix is swapping over to Hugo.

This blog is running on Hugo. It had previously been running on Jekyll. Both these SSGs ship with the ability to create excerpts from your markdown content in 1 line or thereabouts.

Hugo

Hugo is a popular static site generator specifically designed to create websites and documentation lightning-fast. Its minimalist approach, emphasis on speed, and ease of use have made it popular among developers, technical writers, and anybody looking to construct high-quality websites without the complexity of typical CMS platforms.

As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.

Create the technical documentation of your project You can use any of the following options: * A wiki, like the ArchWiki that uses MediaWiki * Read the Docs, used by projects like Setuptools. Check Awesome Read the Docs for more examples. * Create a website * Create a blog, like the documentation of Blowfish, a theme for Hugo.

Doing this made me appreciate existing SSGs like Hugo and Next.js even more👏👏

I suggest hugo: https://gohugo.io/

Generates a completely static website from MD (and other formats) files; also handles themes (including a lot of them rendering well on mobile), and different types of content - posts, articles, etc. - depending on the theme.

It's open source and, being completely static, cheap as fuck to self host.

Creating a high-performance website is essential in today’s digital age. Speed, efficiency, and a seamless user experience are the cornerstones of successful web development. This article explores how combining Next.js with WordPress can achieve these goals, providing a robust solution for developers looking to elevate their web projects.

WordPress as the backend headless CMS, offering a versatile content management foundation.

Open source CMS WordPress and Drupal introduced WYSIWYG editors and template customization to empower independent publishing but page building was still largely code-driven.

While specific CMS platforms were not directly listed in the sources as explicitly supporting Behat, it’s widely known in the development community that Behat can be integrated with several PHP-based CMS platforms. Drupal and _WordPress _are notable examples of PHP CMSs that support Behat testing, thanks to their flexible architecture and the availability of various plugins or modules that facilitate integration with Behat. For instance:

WordPress is the most popular CMS(Content Management System) among bloggers. The same fact has made WordPress more vulnerable to attacks by hackers. Especially for authentication vulnerabilities such as brute-force attacks.

I recent WordFence scan identified the plugin reCaptcha by BestWebSoft as a "critical" vulnerability adding that it has been removed from wordpress.org. Where can I find information as to why it was removed from wordpress.org or why it is a critical security vulnerability?

The Genshine Impact database site looks pretty custom, can't tell if there is any CMS involved. You could start with the tried and tested WordPress. I built my gaming site on WordPress, it's not as fancy as the site you linked but it has plenty of options and flexibility to build all sorts of sites.

Almost every host has one-click WordPress installs these days using either cPanel's WP Toolkit or Softaculous, so that should be a non-issue. You never have to visit wordpress.org if you go that route; the host is handling that for you. Watch Ferdy Korpershoek's videos on YouTube for tutorials on getting started with WordPress. Personally, I would not go with his hosting recommendations, however. I like iWebFusion, but there are other good recommendations over at /r/webhosting

I am on wordpress (commerce plan ) £55pm. wordpress.com is what I am using, however I have heard of wordpress.org also which requires more technical knolwedge which I am willing to invest in over the next 12 months.

wordpress.org requires that user input should be sanitized and validated, and output should be escaped, to prevent mischief by bad actors. This mantra is embedded in current wordpress.org plugin guidelines. Unfortunately older plugins may not comply, leaving them vulnerable. They always were vulnerable, but what's changed is the light has been shone on the issue by Patchman and others. Publicly available code can be scanned by both good and bad actors to detect where malware can be injected.
