First Experience with Hugo 🚀

Hi everyone, this is my first serious experience working with Hugo (previously, I launched a couple of small sites with only a few pages, which weren’t worth showing).

About the site: It’s a listing of mobile service plans in Russia, featuring reviews of each plan and operator.

I had to tweak the template a bit to suit my needs, and there’s still a lot of work ahead, like dealing with too much advertising which affects my PageSpeed scores :sob:.
I was amazed by hugo-mod-jslibs/turbo at master · gohugoio/hugo-mod-jslibs · GitHub — the site became even faster, but I still had to adjust the theme since not everything worked out of the box.

For my first serious Hugo project, I’m very satisfied. The site used to run on Django and was fast, but now it’s just super speedier!

Yea, Turbo has become real good after the v8 rewrite (they’re now using it in hey.com etc.). For simpler setups, and if all you’re looking for is faster navigation, this is also a good option:
