Thank you! Works perfect. Helped me to find my problem, was a bad setup on [permalinks]

@jmooring May I ask a question, please? Good sir.
The build times are impressive to me. However, the JSON file for 20k posts contains very little data (just title, date, and 1 paragraph).
But how long build time will take if the JSON file will be close to real-world cases? Let’s say 20k posts, where each post contains 4-5 paragraphs and at least 3-4 images, and if we transform the images using Hugo (like creating .webp versions of each image).
Can you imagine and say the approximate time necessary to build a website like that? And I want to believe, if only the first build will take a lot of time? Will second and further builds be much faster because of caching?
That impossible to answer. I suggest you create your own test data.
They will be faster due to caching, if properly configured and implemented. Whether it will be “much faster” is impossible to answer.

Here are some stats for my content adapter’s site on Linux on an old laptop.
First build drags itself a bit (sometimes up to 8 minutes)

Very impressed though! Builds were 5x-10x longer on Windows even after excluding hugo.exe from antivirus (up to 30 minutes first build and 5-10 minutes for subsequent builds).
you have to block the virus scanner for ./public and ./recources (if not redirected in config files)
